So, you asked her what she thought? Have you replied to her answers and told her how they made you feel?

A while back, my T said sth that made me mad and helpless at the same time, and all I did was get stubborn and closed-off for the rest of the session. We didn't get anywhere.
I then explained to her (next session) why I was like that and how what she had said made me feel, and I think she got it.

It helped me a lot to tell her (I usually wouldn't tell and just harp on my own interpretation of what was said) and make myself understood.

If you'd like to work through emotions, this might be the time. Maybe it wasn't as bad as it feels to you at the moment. I surely don't know what was said, but my T once looked at me and said, you don't want to get better! And at first, I was mad, but then I really let her words sink and realized that was exactly what I had been signaling to her.

My relationship with my T is a good one, and no matter what she says, I now consider it. If it doesn't sit well, I discuss it with her, and it usually ends in a good way.

Maybe you can find a way to work through this. Do you think you can?
