Thanks Miri, maybe it is an abandonment issue. I am not sure, just very afraid. Thanks for your help and insight into this. I will look at the aboandonment feeling. I have been seeing this T for about 9 months so I should have trust now I think.

Many, many of us here are very sensitive to abandonment because we were either told or made to believe we weren't worthy of being care for. We were hurt instead. If that is true for you, could you start by talking about acceptance and fears around that in a general way? You may find the reassurance you seek and thus the safety to show more of yourself to her.
I wish you to find safety and trust so that you can move forward.  if safe
