Perhaps some of the friction with your sponsor just reflects her own lack of understanding or knowledge - sometimes that can be the real benefit of qualifications rather then only good intentions and strong beliefs.
I think Five's suggestion is very good, I just wanted to add a little bit. Are you able to talk about this with your doctor? I know there are medications you want to avoid but have you had chance to talk about why with somebody qualified to both understand and work with you to find alternatives?
What your talking about is very treatable and not uncommon, try to keep looking for qualified help that is supportive of you and functional.
I'm glad you haven't gone to far in 'making yourself' follow the help suggesteed to you. What your feeling is real and you should be the biggest part of coming up with solutions - you need to find somebody to work WITH you rather than just dictate.
Good intentions and strong beliefs can make people do odd things with far too much confidence. I think maybe your sponsor is grasping at straws feeling she 'should' be able to make you better - if she can just make you comply. Go easy on her but be assertive in deciding what's right for you. In the short run she might blame you, but that's from her own feelings - to protect herself from knowing there are answers she doesn't have.
Take care you!!
