I was not given even the most basic education so sometimes my T says things that I’m assuming he thinks is common knowledge and my 1st reaction is to pretend I know. I trust my T completely I think it’s because I’ve done this my whole life with everyone to avoid being embarrassed now I don’t know how to change this. Sometimes he can somehow tell and he’ll ask and I can easily say “no I don’t understand what you’re saying” but I can’t seem to say it on my own. Any advice on how to change this?

Just for additional info I’m 33F and have less than a 2nd grade education due to childhood neglect born and raised in the U.S
