I most definitely understand this tension. If I had any great advice, I'd try to follow it myself, since I deal with exactly the same thing. I think the impulse to push away is, at its heart, a self-protective one. But it's also one that is ultimately damaging. Maybe talking with your T about the conflict you experience would be a starting point?
