It seems to me that he wants you to be a different client in a similar way to the times when you want him to be a different therapist.
I think it's partially because he doesn't embrace or acknowledge the "child" side of LT. He only views and communicates with the "adult" LT, so he's not meeting her where she's at. Probably also why LT has a push/pull relationship with him.
