I have to think some more about this.

This pattern could be a good thing to bring up, actually. It sounds like you're a bit of a people pleaser, which I tend to be as well. Could it also have to do with her being an authority figure to you? Because for me, the people-pleasing comes out even more with authority figures (or people I consider to be). This is a topic that's come up with my T, and it's been helpful to explore where that comes from and how I can work to change it (I've had some success).
