I don't know, letting emotions out is way too hard for me.

Can you talk with her about giving her one word answers? Like, give her a one word answer, and then stop and talk about it. Make that one word the topic for the whole session, nothing else! Make therapy interesting for yourself, not just another thing you HAVE to do.
Im reading a book by the magician Penn Gillette, about how he lost 100 lbs, and in it he talks about how he does EVERYTHING crazy and big and wacky, so why would he lose weight any differently? That kinda sounds like the opposite of what im saying. But you can GRAB therapy and make it whatever you want. Its a huge gift! Its not a burden.
