Thanks. Yes, I agree to that, realising that made me at least a little less angry and disappointed in her.
As she works within psychiatry she attends a lot of conferences and meetings and by that she superficially learns about for example new forms of therapy and treatment. But as she never trained as a therapist herself I´m afraid she don´t know how to address more of emotional issues, sadness, sorrow and so on.
Yes, as we just recently met for our first session after deciding we would meet to discuss my issues perhaps she waits a bit to see where it all lands. But I´m afraid she won´t be able to meet me in my feelings but just end up generalising.
Even if she isn´t a therapist I´m a bit surprised about her answering in such general terms to what I tell her as she has worked within health care and with patients for like 30+ years.

Maybe she is waiting to get to know you better? I don't know. But I definitely think it's a good idea to bring it up with your therapist/counsellor.
