I think someone else here suggested this, but maybe the T you've got now isn't the one to get you thru this step. Maybe he's taking you back to those feelings because that's what his speciality is. Whatever the reason, if you're ready to move on from there & he's not getting you beyond it, I'd say ask right out--why can't we move on?
If he's unwilling/unable, consider moving on to another T. Then maybe you won't find the stuff Sannah posted about "so hard to do." It's hard, but you're sounding as if you think it's unattainable--or maybe I'm reading you wrong.

It's not you consciously blocking it--you'd know that! There could be experiences that interfere with your ability to accept the good as something you deserve. Lots of stuff can get in the way. Thinking oneself unworthy is what I'm most familiar with. Something else to broach with your T--
if you can get him to move on.
