Also she thinks I was sexually assaulted when I was younger and I just cant remember it.
This is a big red flag for me, but that's me. I just think it's wrong and terribly irresponsible for therapists to make such assumptions and then put it in their patients' heads. I have a history which I briefly shared in couple's therapy once. One session when my ex didn't show up, she claimed she 'knew' that something else happened as well which I didn't remember and wanted to do EMDR on 'it.' On what?? No way, no how. I told my ex to never leave me with alone with that woman again. She was a decent marriage counselor, but I never fully trusted her again after that.
In any case, maybe you can ask her to help you find ways to express your emotions in session -it's so much better to get it out there where you can deal with it with the therapist, rather than alone. Maybe this along with more time and experience with her to trust, will eventually lead to being able to be vulnerable with her in this way.
