Well, if I'm to be extremely positive, I would say that perhaps he was trying to open the door for you to talk about things that he might suspect are hard for you to talk about. So he's normalizing your hesitation by saying that it would be difficult for anyone to talk about those things.

I hate normalization.

Definitely talk to him about it. Whether it's projection on his part or on your part, or what's going on is hard to tell from a distance.

Do you ever wish we could be flies on the wall in each other's therapy so we could get a better idea of how to be helpful?

If I remember correctly, didn't this all come up toward the end of the session, on a day where he already seemed sort of stressed?

Hopefully tomorrow will sort some of it out.
