Jane, I'm so glad that you finally got to meet her! I know that the stress of "not knowing" can be crazy and painful, so at least that first session is finally out of the way, and you have an actual face/person to associate with her name now!
It sounds like overall it went well... the thing with her pulling back does sound weird. I hope you can mention it to her, and maybe ask if she had a bad experience or what was going on? It would bug me too, but honestly, I've noticed when I'm in a very alert/anxious place, I sometimes misread things like this. (I've noticed on TV shows I might watch something and get a really strong impression, but if I watch it again a couple of days later - it seems totally different!) So, hopefully you can discuss it with her and put your mind at ease.
