I'm glad she has finally answered you. I would be content with that. There may be nothing more to say. She may not be a very self-reflective person and really hasn't thought about her career choice much. Who knows! But at least you got an answer.

I think the truly more interesting question (for her to ponder to herself) is what did SHE gain from giving you such a runaround about this, and how did she HELP your relationship by answering at last and how did she HURT your relationship by being so withholding initially. Building and maintaining the relationship are big responsibilities for the T. Ts need to gauge all of their responses and actions in therapy by whether they help or harm the relationship, whether they make the client grow closer or push the client away. There are reasons why both more and less distance might be desired. When I have read your saga, I have felt that your T desires more distance in your relationship, but I have not been sure if that is for your benefit or hers.
In any case, I am glad you finally got an answer from her.
