I wouldn't like your therapist's approach at all. Mine is more like your MC. She does not label or pathologize or talk in terms of fixing. If I ask for reassurances, I don't even think it's framed as asking for reassurance. Then again, I don't tend to ask for things that would make me feel better. I did ask her to say Yes indeed, once. And she did. I don't see any value at all in questioning why someone needs something that feels supportive or is helpful.

Are you finding any benefits to seeing this therapist? It could it be that no one compares to your MC, so if you have seen some good things from your therapist, maybe just focus on that area (or areas) to work with her on.
