She has never done this before.  Does yr T do this too? If so, have you ever brought it up? and how did you say it? |
She does it sometimes... but it's just usually enough for her to finish her thought without me interrupting. (except with the academics thing. I was annoyed when she didn't let me interrupt
... I would've given her a large piece of my mind at certain parts!)

I understand your feelings about the academics. I've been having a lot of trouble focusing and stuff and so T wanted to talk about that, which was fine. But then when she called my ability into question..... It's just a huge part of who I am and I'm first in my class and I study all the time and I'm like "You can't question that it defines me!!!" (in my head only)
Also I feel like she just overanalyzes things. I mention something in passing and she grabs hold of it and tries to wring something out of it but there's nothing there!
Try to be direct, and tell your T that you don't want to talk about the academics. If it's something that makes you feel competent I'm sure your T wouldn't want to undermine that. I hope you work this out  |
That's exactly it. lol.
Thanks guys
