SV,
Therapy is hard. That you realize how hard it is, and keep going back and trying again shows that you are not giving in to those inner demons that try to get you to quit.
I think your therapist cares about you, she's just frustrated that she can't figure out how to reach you. I'm hard if not impossible to reach in therapy. I cross my arms and legs and refuse to talk when anything *sensative* is mentioned. My pdoc says I glower at him and I only see him for meds. My therapist just says *oh, oh, I must have touched on something...*
It doesn't take much to touch on something that I don't want to talk about. I think you're the same way. I hate talking about bulimia because my T doesn't understand it.
She told me that if my bulimia gets out of control she'd have to refer me to someone with more expertise. I felt like she was trying to get rid of me, but she really was trying to get me help that she couldn't give. Maybe your T doesn't have much experience with eating disorders?
Some of us are blurters, but some like you and I aren't. As said on Seinfeld (about something else,) but the quote works *there's nothing wrong with that.*
Hang in there and remember that you are strong- don't give up on yourself.
