I don't think your therapist is your fear, I think you are your fear. It kind of sounds like you are using your psych student knowledge as an excuse to avoid having to do the deep, intense work often required in therapy. You even refer to disclosing your feelings and emotions as weaknesses. They are vulnerabilities -- never a weakness. Try to let yourself be a client and give your therapist a chance. I would think knowing all that you do about your therapists tactics would make for good collaborating. Try to let go of the projections and allow yourself the full experience so you can heal. Also, allowing yourself to go through this experience will make you a better therapist in the future (if that's what you are going for). You'll better know how to help your clients because you will know what it's like to be in their shoes.
