or is it more; you wish T would accept the reality of what is going on and help with that rather than taking it so lightly but at the same time as wanting T to know the reality you don't want them to think you are a total beyond help mess as well ?

The second...I think.
I want her not to argue with me when I say something is concerning. Because in order for me to convince her, I have to do humiliating stuff like take pictures. If she would have just trusted me when I said I'm very disorganized, maybe I wouldn't be so embarrassed.
Also, her arguing with me in this way makes me think she doesn't really know the true me. She has a half-picture of what I'm like and she's drawn erroneous conclusions from it. Because I am an environmental scientist, she thinks I'm passionate about the environment. I'm not. I'm pretty detached from what I do--which is why I've been seeing her for the past 4 years. But when I try to correct this misperception, she argues with me. Which makes me think it's incomprehensible to her that I couldn't be passionate and that only a really bad person would admit to as much.
