It sounds like he steered you. I don't know if that's a therapy no-no.

I wish my last T had steered me away from a terrible choice I made. I laid it all out for him and asked him if he thought what I wanted to do sounded sane and like a good thing to do, and he said it sounded sane and good-- but it wasn't. Looking back on it I see it wasn't. I wish he had pointed out the truth to me. I am actually pretty upset that he encouraged me to do something so stupid.
