I am not criticizing you or the therapist - just musing about the differences in how others interact with those guys.

Yeah, it doesn't surprise me that it's not the kind of thing you would like to hear from a therapist. I guess that's why it's good that there are such a variety out there. Lots of different people have lots of different needs and expectations.
I'm glad you found some who were willing to stay back.
(Actually I suspect my T would do that too if the client required it - he seems pretty adaptable from what I have seen of him).
