Hey Treehouse,
You are such a caring person!!  Sometimes our caring can become slightly problematic for us though when it comes to requesting that our needs be met by the healthier people in our lives.
I fully understand what you are saying. My T had an injury a while back and I did feel guilty for spilling all of my stuff on her when I knew she was going through issues of her own.
What actually helped me to do this and get passed it was to realize that my T is a human being. And as with any human being, T has a purpose in the world which she is striving to fulfill. For her that purpose is to be the best T she can be and to be able to provide her care to her clients in the best way possible. If you allow your issues with T's injury to hinder your therapy and therapeutic relationship, in a sense you are preventing T from being the best T he can be and preventing him from being able to fulfill his purpose. He can only be a good T if you allow him to be. And he can't do his job and fulfill his purpose without your help. Let him be the T he's meant to be!! He can't help you if you don't show up for therapy.....don't hold back!!
Just a different angle to look from....
Take care!!
