Well, I sure do relate to this! Maybe it is true that you have an element of avoidance. It is also very possible that you feel understandably cautious because of the unpredictability of your therapist/therapy situation. Can you trust it?

There could be elements of both, too.

Just please...speak up if you feel like she's telling you something about yourself that doesn't feel right to you
