When couples approach mindfulness therapy with different expectations

My partner and I started doing mindfulness-based therapy together after my panic attacks got worse, but I think we're approaching it completely differently and it's creating tension between us. She wants to track everything and measure progress while I just want to feel less broken, and our therapist keeps saying we need to 'align our intentions' but I don't even know what that means anymore.
