It *is* hard when therapists don't understand the realities of a situation, and offer solutions that really aren't solutions at all.
And I can understand feeling resentful of their ignorance too. I was just very angry at my therapist for something similar.
I am sure she's doing her best because she cares about you, but their best isn't always all that helpful, at least in concrete ways and sometimes not in other ways too.
I expressed the anger to my therapist and was happy that he accepted and understood it. Are you able to tell her when what she's saying results in anger on your part?
