hangingon, I think your approach to therapy is a good one. The fact that you have decided to be upfront and express how you are feeling is good. I think it is also good that you are not sitting back twisting and weaving your own meaning to what she said. You asked her directly for clarification. I've done that a few times, and it has been very helpful. Why I don't do it more...I think I just like the stress of worrying :-0
Your T sounds like she is taking you questioning and doubt as part of the process. I often feel like my T must really get pissed at me when I don't trust her with something. But, she seems to deal with it OK. I think they are used to people always questioning their intent.
