T says regressing/feeling like kid is progress (?)

She says regressing is progress- it's a positive thing in therapy. It means that I am feeling emotions I did as a child when no one paid attention to my whining and crying. I am projecting this onto her, which is why I am afraid of her.
Part of therapy is projecting feelings onto her and that's okay. She knows it's progress, even though I don't think it is.
Well, I still don't think it is. I told her that I hate to be lied to. She said she never lies to me, but really, progress is feeling like a vulnerable kid instead of a strong adult?
Anybody else's T think regression is progress?
