Wow. I'd have to agree with everyone else who has responded on here! I've only had one therapist and I have no background in psychology, but it's clear to me (just on my limited experience with therapy) that this would be unethical. Your therapist definitely shouldn't be talking about how you guys would interact if you weren't therapist/client. That seems wholly inappropriate to me.
I remember wondering how I would know if my therapist was any good or not (since I'd never had a therapist before). Well now I know. It's obvious to me when I read therapist interactions that would be hurtful (or at best unhelpful). I have no idea how your therapist could think that saying some of those things wouldn't be hurtful.
I am sorry you've had to experience that. I hope you will find better help if he's not able to give it to you.
