For what it is worth, my psychodynamic T will often suggest exercise . I used to think that he was being flippant or "giving up for the day" but I eventually learned that he meant it--excercise can be as effective as antidepressants. He in turn learned that I needed to hear that he cares that I'm hurting.

But your T does sound frustrated and it is leaking out. I hope she finds a better way to make you more comfortable to talk. Early on in therapy I had a really hard time learning to put my feelings into words--I felt awful but couldn't express it.
