Sounds like you are experiencing some transference where your therapist is behaving just like your mother behaved.

Of course. He doesn't behave "just like my mother" but I guess there are enough similarities to trigger me.

I think that it is possible that your therapist is talking in an attempt to put you at ease.

I can see (now) that it is possible, but I don't think it is the case. I think he feels the need to control the situation (me). And I am reacting as though that desire to control is dangerous. Which it isn't, most likely.

Might be that your therapist isn't so sure what to do. I guess the only way they know is if... We can somehow... Find the courage to ask / tell them.
