It could be that your therapist doesn't want to hear it because it covers so many aspects. You can't take on all of them at once. You have to break them down.
Instead, talk about the avoidant trait that's bothering you that week. Perhaps it's a problem with work, that you want a better job. Or you are having an issue with anticipating rejection or abandonment. Or maybe your self esteem is really bothering you.
Talk about the small piece of avoidance that is bothering you. Throwing out the label is a way to hide, because it's too big to tackle, so you don't actually have to do any work on making progress.
