I'm sure my T would be horrified if my take on what she was doing with me was telling me it was ok not to grieve. I think what she was trying to do was normalize for me my lack of emotional response. She knows how self-critical I can be; she was probably trying to give me one less thing to be critical about.
Now she believes that my father's death triggered something of a crisis for me over the whole issue of my lack of emotional response. Talking about all of this has eventually us to lots of discussions about emotional attachments (or the lack thereof), particularly with her. My father has sort of receded into the background.
