Yea I certainly get that. I find the basic dynamic you describe to be insufferable, though I know it is considered SOP. In particular her asking why strikes me as borderline insane. Back on planet earth such a desire would be not be questioned. But in therapy everything is assumed to have some supernatural meaning that must be dissected down to the last atom. Why the hell does she think you want to see the photo??? Because you're a human being. Her asking also seems to distort reality. It implies that her withholding is normal, and you wanting to see it abnormal and therefore in need of analysis. I'd say it's the reverse. Sorry, don't mean to be obnoxious.
