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.
So, instead of allowing me to explore the different factors contributing to my dysgeographica she started asserting practical steps I could take to assist. This felt patronising and dismissive to me. Her explanation is that she felt 'frustrated on my behalf.' As a result she wanted to go direct to practical steps i could take to somehow resolve it.

I did wonder whether she was trying to soften the fact that she was frustrated BY me - but I let it go...
Thanks for this!
