I’ve had this impuls

Such onesided relationship feels odd at times for me (in Minecraft)

Clients absolutely do this.

I have to give them an honest answer because they'll know if I'm dodging, without saying anything that gets them trying to look after me!

Usually I go with "so, what I've been puzzling about today is..." And offer something that links back to why they're in therapy.

Let's them know I'm human too and hooks them back into the process
