I kind of feel the same way sometimes. I call it "stay with me, but don't talk to me" state. When a child burns his fingers on a stove, he doesn't want to talk about his feelings. He wants some compassion. When I'm feeling down I can ask my T to stop with analyzing, because I just want her to be there for me. And she agrees to do just that when I need it.
Just try telling your T that jumping to discussion about your feelings is not what you need right now.
