It has been pain, and confusion, involuntary revelations at way too deep a level, frustration, distrust, anger, bottomless shame, unbounded sadness, just about anything except that. We don't change just that fast; surely that's not possible. and I have no idea what we were talking ABOUT when she said it.

It all sounds very interesting and I hope you and she can talk about it next time. When you first described the session, it didn't sound like just a nice chat to me. It sounded productive and great. I think having good communication can really help therapy. Going to therapy doesn't mean you have to have misunderstandings or misconnections in order to make progress. I see what you originally said as a really good thing, maybe the start of something really great and lots of progress. I found with my T that good communication only facilitated the work, didn't mean it was time to stop. SAWE, I think I can understand why, after so long not communicating in the way you describe that you would be unnerved by this.
