This was exactly the case with my former T. He kept insisting that we "work out" the conflicts and even guilt tripped me for not willing to deal with it any further. At some point, I decided to simply not go to my next session and told him this via email. He then still tried to change my mind and said things like my frustration with him was displaced anger from my childhood, directed to wards my mother, and that if I don't work it out with him, it's likely I'll repeat the same thing later. Luckily I realized how manipulative he was. Also, there hasn't been any repeating, I believe it is him who repeats this kind of behavior.
