This is how therapy can help. If you don't know her expectations then you will make assumptions about them, and your assumptions will tell a lot about you. But it *is* really difficult, and uncomfortable, and painful, and weird, and different. It has to be. If therapy were just like all of our other relationships, then it wouldn't be able to help us learn and change.
You have a lot of insight into yourself. Keep going!
