Granite, that sounds like a very tough session. I think your T could have been more straightforward when you asked her the question and avoided confusing you. Instead of answering you, first she wants to know is it a test, then what you thought she would do, and then lamented she didn't know how to answer because she didn't know what you wanted. Sheeesh! Just answer granite's question and quit the hemming and hawing. I know your T meant well, but I think she brought your reaction on herself by not just simply giving you an authentic answer. Do you think it would have helped if she had just simply answered your question? Or do you think she had good reason to worry that she must only answer you with what you wanted to hear?

Granite, I hope you will not stop asking questions in therapy. Maybe you can help your T out by telling her what your expectations are when you ask a question (that she answer). If she doesn't feel she can answer questions when you ask them, maybe she can give an explanation why so that you don't feel you have done something wrong by asking.
