I think LS is right. My T does this and claims it's to demonstrate a healthy parent /child bond. But I interpret it as him getting space from me. I told him it hurt me as well but that didn't change anything. And for the same reason as you muzzling lady, I was not so loved etc etc, mixed I'm sure with jealousy and envy.

I think when you're with a person and disclosing parts of yourself you naturally want to hear in response from your therapist "I care about you" or "I'm here with you." But, IMO this is like the opposite, it's like "oh sorry your parents were like that, by the way I love my real kid to death (not you) and I'm there for her all the time, just thought you'd like to know."
