That is very interesting how his perception differs from yours, but fairly typical for the human race. i am always surprised to find my perception differs from my therapist's, when it does, and for me this is often an indication that the emotion in the thing is ramped up for me. If what's going on is emotionally loaded, it's as if my attention is inner directed rather than a more calm observation of both myself and the world, so I just miss things.
I'm really glad you feel empowered now, as I think that's what therapy is supposed to do. At least I have enjoyed the increased sense of empowerment and the matching will to go make my life what I want.
