You may not get the answer you would like, but it grounds you and 'talking it out' diffuses the shame and empowers the client to be honest about their own feelings.
Unless the target T isn't trustworthy for some other reason, in that case, you should seek someone else anyways.

Yeah, that potential T said that, can you believe that? especially given my background, it's likely to happen with others too. And target T I'm guesswing you mean my current T?
