It doesn't sound like you would have taken her advice had she given it. You say you were in denial, and are pouty and passive aggressive. Until the client is ready to accept an interpretation, the practice is to not offer it as it is either wasted or damaging psychologically. Simply hearing an interpretation doesn't result in change of behavior--that's where the work of therapy is. It sounds like you entered therapy in crisis, the crisis abated, and therapy went into maintenance mode. Until you engage as ready to work, nothing else will happen. It's a process, not a fix-it shop.
