These are GREAT insights! My T at one point, maybe 5 years into my therapy (9 years total) asked me could we decide I wasn't going to say "I don't know" anymore, we would take the time to have me check my heart and figure out what the "answer" was? Maybe you and your T can decide to do that with you? It worked great for me; was a little scary at first but then I realized my T was not bored/angry/distainful of me taking time to figure it out for us and it got easier.
