I totally agree with this. Increasingly, I am aware that my attention to what my therapist says far outweighs her attention to what she says. Our sessions hold much more significance for us than they do for them so it easy for us to highlight their inconsistencies or contradictions. The reality is that humans are messy and we are not in therapy with robots - not yet at least. Obviously this is often confusing or painful or destabilising for us, but hopefully the therapist is skilled enough to work through that with us.
