If I saw a therapist who gave inappropriate interpretations that just didn't have anything to do with me, then I'd dismiss those.
I was mostly interested in how the therapist and client related and worked together, and at the end about the therapist's reaction to the news (what it meant to her, how she handled the news, what she did). I found it interesting that she posted fragments of his poetry in the article.

I thought it interesting that she even mentioned he rejected her interpretations. I found it snotty that she started off by saying he "fancied himself" rather than he was a poet.
I don't know the difference between the woman giving interpretations and just generally talking - when is it considered an interpretation rather than just an opinion?
I expected the part you found interesting to be the main focus for some people.
