It sounds like attachment stuff, does your t look at this with you? There has been quite an ambivalent relationship with this t all along. A kind of push pull kinda relationship. Perhaps if you could go back and focus on your relationship with her and what's happening in your interactions with each other could help.
Psychodynamic tends to focus on the past too much and yes a lot of our issues and attachment styles are formed in the past but looking at what's happening in the room for you both could be very rewarding.

I'm actually leaning more towards going back now . I'm still going to skip this week though; I have a book club meeting when I usually have my T appointment and I think it would be good for me to do something social. I literally haven't spent time with any of my friends in over 2 weeks. But anyway, I think this relationship with my T is indeed something that needs to be explored. One of the things is that she asks me a lot of questions and it reminds me of how my mother badgers me to try and open up to her which always makes me defensive so that is probably part of what is going on but I'm sure there is more.
