Somethings they are not qualified or experienced to deal with.
Also, I wish she could take your word for it.

I guess you will continue be as patient and focused as you have been through this process.
Each step and each session and each question answered gets your closer to
your goal. Good luck.

Her job is to make sure I'm not going to be a threat to reoffend. She has to identify what a client's problems are and address them. She's decided I have a problem asking for help and she's just going to keep shoving fixes for that down my throat. I'm sure she's used to a lot of BS because she deals with addicts all the time, so she's not about to take my word for it when I say I always ask for help for psych symptoms and will in the future. So we go over that point incessantly.
I get it, but I don't need help with everything.
I think she might be purposely irritating me at times to gauge my reactions, and might be asking the same questions looking for consistency. I know that I remain calm, but I get frustrated and I defend my positions, so I don't know if I'm coming off as argumentative or not. She remains pleasant, but I think I frustrate her at times, too.
I'm not worried about consistency, and she still plans on just three more sessions, so I can't be too badly behaved lol.
