You could try asking her whether it is something that she thinks would be useful to address in therapy

I've had that experience also, where i tell a therapist something that is really uncomfortable or embarrassing and they just sort of shrug their shoulders - i had one that actually responded by chastising me in a way - telling me that my intense feelings of self-hatred were the easy way out - i still feel angry about it - it made me feel worse, 'cos it took courage to tell him that to begin with
I would be upset as well and to top it off it's not like that response is helpful to the matter at all. I totally would understand your frustration. Did you try bringing it up again and read dressing it? It's almost like a hey this subject really matters to me but they don't see it as significant. We live with it so we know what it's like.
