I think I see her comment differently to you. You have asked her for feedback on how she thinks you are doing. She is suggesting you talk about your wish for feedback, rather than she simply give you feedback. It's possible that she doesn't want to be the person in the room who decides whether or not your therapy is going well. If she was this person, then she would be holding the power. Maybe she wants you to have the power. Maybe she hopes that if you assume this power in your relationship with her, then you will assume more power in other relationships.
I tend to think that I'm the one who knows how my therapy is going, not my T. She doesn't know the impact the therapy is having on me, until I tell her. Are you fears partly that, if she doesn't think you are progressing, then she may not continue with you?
