If it were me, I would be dying to ask her about her surprising response. I would want to ask what in her own life made her respond in such a strong way? I think someone else mentioned maybe she has a son or husband who had a bad experience somehow that is coloring her judgement. I would want to challenge her on it. But therapists like other people can get unduly defensive so there is risk in that approach.

I hope you get the resolution that you need soon.
