I've always accepted that my therapist may have their own issues, coping mechanisms and boundries. Any uncomfortable feelings I have about bringing something up for discussion is on me. I've been uncomfortable many times, but only once did my therapist show any discomfort. She said it may be difficult for her to remain objective so she would focus on just listening and may defer offering suggestions for working through things. It wasn't perfect, but her honesty was the therapy I needed to receive.
