It's not really about the therapist - it's a reenactment of early attachment patterns. Continuously getting negative responses or no response from your caregiver when you express you needs will teach you that those needs are unacceptable and so you suppress them to gain the approval of your caregiver - to preserve the attachment.

At poor peace I sing
To you strangers (though song
Is a burning and crested act,
The fire of birds in
The world's turning wood,
For my sawn, splay sounds,)
