Hi Walk Free, your therapist is protecting you by acting surprised. How you might be able to avoid this is to talk with her.

I know with my T, when we had couples counseling, he only responded to subjects that he knew my husband already knew. I was amazed that he could remember what to say and not to say...I felt like he was really listening to me.

She might also be trying to get to know what he thinks about whatever you are going through. There is a tactic for almost every word these T's say...and do...it is enough to make you spin for hours
