[quote=Anonymous]OP, from what you shared, it does sound like more of a defense mechanism than just her being private. Sometimes people hide negative/painful experiences not only from others, but even from themselves; the one time her inhibitions were lowered she couldn’t even admit afterwards that she had been truthful. Not that this is necessarily the case here, but sometimes people in therapy uncover ways that they have been acting/living inauthentically without previously realizing it because that’s how they learned to deal with past experiences. This may just be how she copes. You may find it a bit surreal at times, and sadly you may have to look elsewhere for a more authentic relationship.[/quote]
