Forgive my denseness, here, but if your T wanted you to tell her what you felt, did she expect just a one word description? Sometimes I'll tell T, "I feel like..." when I'm not totally sure what I feel - sort of like a lead in. I can't just blurt out one word to communicate what I feel unless I'm really, really certain, which is almost never.
I'm glad your new T sounds more reasonable - or understands a bit better.
