Realize you are dealing with the compulsiveness (these are my words, my descriptions), with having your attachment system activated, this compels you (like you can't stop yourself), to make sure everything between you and the person you are attached to are secure. The more your therapist pushes you away, the more intense it is going to get. I'm telling you this because I don't want you to feel any shame/guilt; because you are being compelled to be reassured that the relationship isn't over, when your T kind of layed it on the line.

I don't know how to tell T this is what I feel happens when this comes up. I don't know if it would even matter.
