Why not just tell her you get the feeling she is frustrated with you when you ask her to restate or rephrase things? Maybe she just doesn't realize that you are picking up on her frustration. Or maybe she isn't frustrated at all and it's just that you are having negative thoughts. She could help by being more reassuring when she has to rephrase things for you. I tell my therapist all the time that I think he's becoming frustrated with me and he simply says no. Well, one time he said he gets frustrated all the time with me, but I tricked him into saying it. I'm a trickster, you know!
