My T looks at ruptures as an opportunity, and I don't recall him ever really taking ownership.
For example, recently, he said some things that felt dismissive and minimizing. Instead of taking ownership for what he said, he explained his intentions and accepted that his approach didn't work well for me.
There was no acceptance of responsibility.
A few years ago, my T made a hurtful comment to me as I was leaving a session. I addressed it with him the following week...and he took that opportunity to express the underlying feelings that drove him to make such a hurtful statement. He was trying to shock me because he was fearful for my safety. I told him that I would have rather heard him tell me he was fearful for my safety rather than make such a hurtful comment. He understood....but there was no acknowledgement of responsibility or blame.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
