I think you should bare in mind that the responder is a psychoanalyst from Brazil (or some other country but at least in South America) where psychoanalysis is very popular. His answer would be appropriate in the context where psychoanalysis is the treatment of choice but it's not appropriate in the context of typical psychotherapy offered in US.

Thus, if someone not interested in psychoanalytic treatment wants to find a reason to get upset then analysing this response is a very good way, otherwise it would be better to just ignore this response as something irrelevant.

For me personally this response is not upsetting. Although I don't fully like its tone, I don't see anything essentially wrong with the content. This is the way psychoanalysis works and for those people, who find it suitable, it is a very powerful therapeutic method (in fact, most powerful to my mind). But the emphasis is on who find it suitable.
