I think that's why T said that to you; she knows you aren't intentionally not listening. My T had a similar difficulty and had me repeat back to her (in my words) what she had just said to me before I could continue on. In other words, I had to acknowledge what she had said. It was hard for me and very artificial/rote but it helped me enormously.
