I have been in psychotherapy for three months, now. The first two months have been all right, but the last one has been challenging.

My therapist loves to discuss my relationship with my mother. I haven’t exactly been very receptive, because I have no idea what she is after. Usually, I answer her questions with, “I don’t know.” I can’t give her anymore than that, since I have never really considered how this relationship has impacted my life, before. Argh! It’s making me feel very vulnerable and anxious.

Why is she exploring this?

In the beginning we worked on communication, since I struggle with it. My autism spectrum disorder makes relating to others hard so I have been motivated to work on it. Is my therapist trying to connect this problem to my relationship with my mother?

I wish she wasn't so obsessed.
