Just as a petty remark since you brought it up, her assignment is stupid.. You can make a few comments to the grocery clerk about the weather or your cat, but people expect privacy at a restaurant.

Thank you, and I agree with you! I told her that when she makes the sessions about other people it invalidates my feelings, and her solution was to tell me to talk about my abuse for our next session. I told her I was nervous about it and she said that it was good that I have some time to prepare before our next session. I also told her that it was hard to pardon my grandmother since I live with her, but she wasn't phased by that.
I'll talk to her again when I see her. I want to give her a couple of more sessions, like a month or two. If I see things aren't changing, then I'll start looking for another therapist.
And yes, I thought the restaurant idea was too big for me and I was thinking, "People go there to eat. They don't want to talk to strangers."
