I use to be that way and I wanted to come not upset my therapist as well. I would go in almost like it was something that I rehearsed. I knew what I needed to work on and what was bothering me but I couldn't get it out. Every single time I went in I thought that I shouldn't care what she thinks and I should just get it out there because it's best. Well 5 years later and I was still having the same issue . I just don't like to be judged. I prefer to paint a pretty picture or cover up somethings than to say here's the deal.

It's definitely not an easy task to do. Perhaps she has a reason why she wants to work on your Ed. Mine also wanted to work on my Ed. I'm not sure if it was because it wa stage only thing she felt that she could work with at the time. I told her of many other things that I was having issues with but I'm not sure if she thought it was an issue or a primary concern.

I guess you might get better answers if you bring to her attention and say can we work on other things besides my Ed. That might start giving you answers as to why she's approaching things a certain way.
