I still can’t buy into this. Her statement is classic denial. How can she say counseling is a waste of time if she clammed up and never said anything? I think she is scared to confront her issues, so she makes excuses. The stiff upper lip is another deflection. Don’t make excuses for her. When you do, you give her the loop hole to maintain distance from you. Then you complain she is not intimate, but you are perpetuating your own misery. In this way, do you think you have intimacy issues too?
