In reading their text books - the theory seems to go to blame the client but it is in practice I find the most obfuscation -

(therapist tells me some completely unsolicited thing about themselves)
Me: why did you tell me that? What are you trying to get at?
Therapist: I don't know - I just did

________
Therapist: That seems like what a lot of people would feel.
Me: what is the point of what you just said? I was not saying I was the only person on the planet to feel X. I am not worried about whether it is usual or not.
Therapist: I don't know
Me: Then why did you say it?
Therapist: If you don't know, I can't explain it

___________
(therapist says something like "you are a good attorney")
Me: how would you possibly think you know such a thing? Why do you think I would believe you about X?
Therapist: I just guess you would be X
Me: But what difference is it supposed to make to me what you think about it?
Therapist: I don't know

And so then I tell the woman to quit talking at all since it makes no sense, she has no purpose, and I don't find it useful

sort of thing
