I can certainly relate to what you're talking about. My pdoc and I come from different cultures and sometimes I think that's a problem in our therapy.
But when situations such as you've described are resolved, and the rupture is repaired, this is where real progress can come. I could be all wrong, but for me it's always about trust--the constant testing that's required on both sides of the relationship and coming smack up against the fact that our Ts aren't the perfect human beings we want them to be, or at least that's what I've wanted. In fighting to relationship (thank you, Dinah) sometimes that's where the growth comes. Resolving these conflicts with our Ts are supposed to help us deal better with relationships in our real lives. I say that with skepticism, of course. :)
So go back and talk. Get angry, explode, do whatever you have to do to try and reach her so she understands. If she doesn't, you've given it your best shot and can decide what to do.
I'm sorry about all this. I really am.
