I'm not sure whether this would be better or worse, but is it possible that she's confusing something you said with something someone else said?
It was not all that long ago that my therapist told me he was fond of me. It was exactly the right thing to say to me, and I told him so only to discover that he had been teasing me, because he had confused me with a client who *hated* the term "fond". We were both embarrassed I think. But in the end he did some impressive verbal gymnastics and I was polite enough to accept what he said, and it turned out ok.
It does happen, and maybe it happened this time?
(My therapist would be congratulating you on taking care of yourself...)
