You wrote: "One thing that she has said a number of times is that "we don't have a relationship" and we need to have one, and this is the reason we have made no progress in 4 months."


I could say that my T is 'neutral' too. But even so, I have reacted to things she's said to me. She is very kind and gentle and empathic but my issues have gotten triggered by her.

So when your T says you don't have a relationship with her, it might be that it is YOU who is seeing everything neutral. She might be wanting you to respond/react to her.

At the beginning of therapy my T said to me to tell her how I feel about anything, even about her. I had wondered what she could possibly mean by that statement. Why would I have any feelings associated with her? Well, bam! - it happened.
