Just hazarding a guess... maybe if it is that big of an issue for her to answer, perhaps she is embarrassed to answer. Otherwise, maybe she is trying to be a blank screen and get you to tell her what you feel about being in therapy.
You are not a bad patient, no way.

Said she would think about answering but wants to talk about it all first. I asked on a scale of 1 to 10 what chance do I ever have of getting an answer. Said talk about it. I said I have been told by about a dozen other people that their T has answered this question. She said in 20 years she has never been asked this.
I feel her not answering is helping me to disconnect from the attachment I had for her. So on one hand I am grateful but on the other hand I know this is not the best thing for me.
I told her that asking questions of people in the first place is very hard so asking her a question was monumental for me. I then said she is reinforcing to me why not to ask questions of people and to just speculate about what their answer may be.
I feel like I am being an unreasonable person. Maybe I am not a good client.
