Well, it's true that I only rarely shock or surprise her. I can only think of one circumstance where she was genuinely surprised by what I said. Most of the time she either tells me that she already knew what I am saying (for example, when I told her about the dissociation, she said she already knew I did it), or she nods her head and goes "um hmm" like it makes sense based on what she already knows.
