I tried numerous times to tell my T that I was struggling but she didn't seem to hear me. My problem is that I might say something but the feelings that would typically go with what I say are missing. Kind of like some sitting calmly and telling you that they are in excruciating pain. I think my T was hearing me but not really "getting" what I was really experiencing. For me I had to put it in writing, and even then it was only when I totally lost it and sent her what I thought was a REALLY freaky email, did she finally get what I was trying to communicate.

My point here is... I thought I was clearly communicating! I thought I stated things clearly and directly. But, I guess I really wasn't.

If you feel like your T is not hearing you, maybe you need to get extreme. Maybe what you perceive as extreme (shouting) might actually be come out as just an audible whisper.
