I jsut remembered a time in my life when a professional (special ed teacher) wanted me to acknowledge that my child was "sick" and my lack of doing that was evidence of denial. I wasn't sure she was "sick" but I thought we wouldn't know until services and treatment were provided. I got so tired of it, I eventually said "What is it you think you will know if I admit my child is "sick." I'm doing the work at home you want. I have him in school everyday. I engage with the teachers. That's better than a lot of people who are admitting what you want them to admit"
When I put it terms of behaviors they wanted, instead of labels, we did much better.
I don't know if this is helpful to you. I don't know if your therapist wants you to "admit" you are sick, or just said something not realizing it would be a trigger.
