I don't know how he will react, but it sounds like you don't feel safe enough to say "no" or challenge him. I also couldn't say no to my mother without consequences and if I felt that way towards my T, I would not say it to him either. I am sorry you don't have that safe space with your T. Does he know that? Is it important to him? I do remember with my T that some of our early work involved getting to Safe. Is that something the two of you have ever worked on--making therapy "safe" for you?
