Up until his point I have taken so much pride in being a "good client" by really facing my fears, being consistent with appointments, reading recommended books, and trying (really trying) all his suggestions. And then I go and do something stupid
It's also pretty 'shady' because we had such a full agenda for this upcoming session already. I hope he doesn't think I went and did what I did to put off that conversation - or maybe I did! This is all so confusing
I literally have a pit in my stomach just thinking about it. I did decide to go to my session this week (tomorrow!  ) I realize putting it off isn't going to help.

I hear that you have been a really good client. You're consistent. Do your homework. Work really hard. Pay attention to his suggestions. If, after that, doing something that he disapproves of will ruin the therapeutic relationship, maybe you are carrying too much responsibility for the relationship going smoothly.
