There's a culture to poverty. Once one is impoverished it changes the way they behave and act. For example, a healthy diet is a middle class thing. When you are of the working poor or worse a meal has to be Hamburger Helper. Do you think the conversation effected how you work with your T? If so, have you talked to her?
Often I wondered if my therapist understood my behaviors in the context of poverty. She went to a private catholic school and went to college in the days before financial aid. For most of my life (because of 50% neglect and 50% poverty) I had to go without.
