If you're feeling annoyed and a little insulted, then that's what you're feeling.
It has sounded to me like he HAS helped you, in the ways that you mentioned in previous posts.
If he can't completely cure everything and is annoyed about that, himself, and feeling inadequate because the profession itself (IMO) has limited theories and methods and few in the profession are willing to acknowledge that and so he also doesn't have any support for feeling like a failure, personally, when coming up against some limitations or something -- that would be countertransference, as I understand it.
And, yeah, so in defense, he puffs himself up or blames you or whatever he needs to do to help himself feel better and more capable, even though he may not be which, again, he takes personally rather than just a fact. About living and the limits of his profession and his limits personally.
Yeah, it's hard and it sucks.
