An example: I am severely without a sense of direction and so I would be asking her whether that might be due to certain experiences rather than just dyspraxia (whether my failure to observe things could be a protective mechanism). Her response was to dismiss the question ('what difference would the answer make?') and instead ask me whether I'm noting landmarks in my new city.

She admits her feelings that are contributing, but I have never heard of such a thing as you described. I understand what you wrote about it, about being more directive, and the concept itself, but I can't see how she is applying that and don't understand jer her reasoning. I thought the frustration thing could be about her trying to pin it as projective identification but don't know enough to add an opinion. What difference would that make didn't seem like a helpful response.
