I agree, a T shouldn't make it about them. If they're having trouble dealing with a client, they should talk to colleagues (or a supervisor, if they have one) about it, not to the client. I've apologized to my T for things like seeming to prefer my marriage counselor to her or for making her feel bad if I wasn't making progress, and she's always said it's not about her, that I don't have to worry about her feelings. MC has said similar things, too, if I express concerns about bothering him, etc.
Also, it's up to the T to hold the boundaries, not the client. That shouldn't be on you.
