My therapist didn't do that. She listened, made some supportive comments, expressed her understanding of how I was feeling, but it was very controlled. Enough to let me know that she understood and heard me, without her becoming my rock. I think a lot of therapists worry about clients becoming too attached to them, and it can happen very easily. Not responding at all or expressing any response is not good though.
