I think the problem is a lot of Ts actually subtly try to satisfy them which pulls you in more. Like OP's T giving a birthday gift and stuff like that, those actions confuse what the relationship is and make their clients want more.
If T's never did confusing stuff like that, it would be more justifiable to have to feel the pain that can come in therapy.
