I may be wrong, but it sounds to me like you are getting more in the way of mental-health help now than you have since I've known you. This may be the "it gets worse before it gets better" phase of the getting-better process. Which is ugh, but there is a get-better after the get-worse.
I hope you're right, but I'm not very impressed with my counselor. I was literally crying in her office and begging for more proactive help and she just seemed baffled.
You are still in the getting-to-know-each-other phase of the process. (Also, counselors these days are in general discouraged from being too proactive too early--- the general "zeitgeist" of the field is oriented to helping clients help themselves, so to speak. I don't know if that's what's going on with her, and I do know that's not what you would best prefer right now, but, again, this is the worse-before-better phase. Hang in there.)
