I always liked the non-revealing bit, since it kept all the attention on me. I never felt like I had to take care of her. I think I had less transference stuff going on, too. I never got obsessed with the therapist herself, and I thought the non-revealing thing helped. It just makes it so weird to hear about her reactions to me now. It's like the whole basis of things is changed.
The stuff about their interpretations has always been tough for me. I'm sure I have lots of untrue projections, so if the therapist challenges those, that's good. But if she's challenging my real perceptions, then it just undermines my confidence (like you said). And who can possibly know which is which?
