Is she your first T?
You know, trust is earned. I question any T that says, "You need to learn to trust me."
Is it possible you haven't failed at therapy as much as, perhaps, this form of therapy is not the right fit for you?
Has she given you healthy alternative coping skills to replace unhealthy behaviors? Is she supportive?
I may not understand the situation but I wouldn't get along with a T who expects me to be a mind-reader.
If you stay with this T, is it possible for you to answer that, yes, you would very much like to learn some alternative healthy ways of coping?
