Exactly.
Unfortunately, "I'm sorry you feel this way.." and also "Could it be that you are reacting this way because I remind you of your mother who did this or that to you?" are all too common crazy making tactics that many therapists employ and get away with because, also unfortunately, those are considered valid therapy "methods". No one else would be able to get away with it, but the professional veneer allows people be manipulative without taking responsibility for their behavior.
