I agree that it's great you were able to express your thoughts to her. I think it would help you to share the angry thoughts, too--she already thought you'd be struggling with it, so she probably wouldn't be surprised that you're angry, too. When I was angry (and hurt) at my marriage counselor about a misunderstanding, I found that expressing those feelings to him helped me get through it and also helped me figure out some stuff about myself. It can help to examine the emotions, why you're having them, and what, if anything, in your past (or present) makes it especially difficult for you. It definitely helped me, though it was really painful for a few weeks there. So just talk about it.
