Good to see you here...
We are alike in this -- we already know how to structure our thoughts, it is living with the feelings that is so tough. And they eat away the insides, leaving a hollow, fragile shell.
I'd tell her. I'd tell her that she is making things worse. She needs to know that. If she can move into the feelings, she'll let you know. She might be going slow to build trust, so that she learns your triggers and how you think.
You are a very smart lady. I think what you wrote about what you want to say is a great start. Can you answer the question: "What DO you want from therapy?" It seems important. I don't see it as resistance at all. Just truth.
But, boy, truth is hard, isn't it?
Let us know how it goes. I miss you here.
Daisy
