Thanks for all the replies. It helps a lot just to see so many others have the same problem. It makes it easier to try and tell her I have this problem, because then she's probably used to it. I think telling her it's hard to talk to her might be the way to go. The way you all say it it actually sounds like something she would tell me to say herself.
I liked the email idea, but I don't have her email, so I'm not sure she would like it. But I think telling her to ask me for the paper would be a good idea.
I wondered about the about the lying to your therapist article too, I've never read it though, because I've felt kind of guilty about not being able to tell the truth so I figured it would just make me feel worse.
I don't think I have a problem with the specific therapist. She's very like me in some ways and she speaks in a way I can understand. She even allows me talk to her any way I like. She doesn't mind if I don't look at her. The only thing is she talks a lot. I suppose therapists should do that, but I just wish she would be a little more patient and not jump to conclusions all the time. I guess I just need a little more time to figure out the right way to say things than she's used to.
