When someone agrees with you but repeats your answer back and then says it in a slightly different way then the way you said it.

My therapist does this and it confuses me because I think to myself “didn’t I just say that same thing?” I don’t think she’s intentionally gaslighting me. I just think she doesn’t understand what I’m going through.

My mom did the same thing the other day but it was completely unintentional. I called her out on it and she said it does sound like a weird thing to do.

I often think the term gaslight is overused way too much. So I’m just wondering if this is considered it or not.
