Trying to put myself in your Ts shoes, I wonder if his reaction might be because he's worried that if y'all are too similar or get too close, possibly in a transference way, that it may effect the therapeutic relationship in a negative way. I see his reaction as concern more than fear. He wants what is best for you, and what you need to continue progressing in therapy, and I think he may have had a moment of worry that these similarities could hinder that.
I don't know if that rings true for you or not, but if I were him, that would be more what I was thinking.

Thanks, yeah that makes a lot of sense. Actually i said maybe we just got the cases because we're quite similar people in a lot of ways and T said perhaps we should pay some attention to the ways in which we are similar, because those are the places we're likely to miss things. So that fits in with what you're saying. He wants to keep aware of those similarities to make sure they're not getting in the way of therapy.
