Wow, you are experiencing some major resentment issues in your t. It appears to me that you feel this therapy is not benefiting you and is a waste of your time. Your analogy with the rope sounds like major control issues surrounding therapy. Therapy should not go into a power struggle. You should direct the therapy. This therapist seems unexperienced and doesn't know how to allow therapy move in your direction. Therefore, you aren't feeling in control.
I think you are angry, because you feel that she isn't allowing you to direct the therapy. This is a must for you to have any benefit. Also, it looks like you are feeling that your hard work with your homework isn't being recognized.
You are very upset about the lack of direction and the nonvalidation of your work put into this therapy. There is a lot of misunderstandings in this therapy session. I am confused as to what she is really trying to do with you. To put it plainly, you aren't feeling like your needs are being met with this therapist. She may not be able to meet your needs due to her inexperience.
A therapist and the client have to really work together mutally. This therapist may not be the one for you. I went through 3 therapist, before I got one that I could not feel controlled by in sessions.
