Hi Jay--
It sounds like for some reason, this issue about discussing psychological theories has opened up some profound feelings about your relationship with your therapist. Maybe in wondering about it, you suddenly realized that there was something you weren't getting from her that you need very much? Good luck in figuring it out and talking with her about it.I agree that she clearly cares, but may not want to open up a discussion over email. When my therapist and I have dealt with very sensitive issues in the past, she's refused to discuss them even on the phone. In a way, even though it seems rejecting now, it's ultimately a caring decision. She wants to make sure you and she are actually together before you open this up, which is more difficult for both of you, but better for you--and for the relationship--in the end.
