Maybe you can think of the perfect patient as one who helps T understand what is going on with you and uses communication skills to aid T when at first she does not get it. I think that will indeed help you get better. If you think your communication skills are not up to snuff, that could be something you work on with T soon, as it will aid later progress greatly. I know, this is way easier said then done, but recognizing it is within your power to make communication better is a great place to be--you can change things, make therapy better, etc. Of course, your T has to be a good communicator too for this to work...
