It sounds to me as though she's exploring whether the anger belongs 100% to her, or whether she's feeling suppressed anger in you. When you say you don't feel anger, if she thinks the circumstances would usually lead to someone feeling anger, she may be wondering why you don't recognize an anger feeling in yourself.

When my T asks how I feel I tell her I feel disappointed and let down. She asks me why I don't get angry towards my abusers, I just don't have any anger inside me. I used to get angry and be self destructive until I decided that I was being hurt enough, and I didn't need to hurt myself on top of the abuse. After that, I just don't feel angry.
