I'm not sure this is a bad thing, is it? It is good to be cognizant of another person's responses and feelings so a two way interaction isn't all "me me me." Plus, I think it is important to clarify things with a person when we don't understand what they mean, so it's not bad to check in with a person, "what did you mean when you said that?" That is one thing I learned from my couples counseling. Don't jump to conclusions about another person's intent, but seek clarification first (before assuming the worst). (I'm not saying you are doing this! You and your T sound like you are communicating very well of late.)

Good luck with the mom thing! I remember you said earlier she is seeing her own therapist now. So maybe she will know how to behave properly in therapy and be serious about the intent of the meeting. (((hugs)))
