Have you asked him if this is what he actually thinks? I made a big deal about my being a troublemaker recently and my T said he never ever thought that about me.
Someone with C-ptsd or BPD can have a very distorted view of himself and sometimes negatively misinterpret body language and even whole conversations with their T. Best you check out the facts with your T and see how he really feels. Most Ts won't see a person they don't feel comfortable with because they know the interaction would not be therapeutic.
