As in, he was speaking about parenting from the lense of a therapist. That would be in line with what he said in his email. However, I see why it's confusing. The thing is, they are always speaking as a therapist.

Yep, you got it! That bolded part is what he said he today that he had been trying to say. That he wouldn't talk about his own parenting style, because that's specific to him and his kid and might not apply to other people's kids. He did understand why I interpreted it the way I did though. Which made me feel better.
Thanks for this!
