I don't get it how this therapeutic relationship is so damn hard and convoluted sometimes.

Yeah, that's probably a large part of the reason that I don't want to delve into any of this with him. I don't want to feel vulnerable because I don't feel safe being vulnerable with him. I opened up and was very honest about my feelings, and his response was "that's great and all, but I'm not the only therapist who can help you. I'll find you someone new," which I took to mean that he doesn't want to work with me anymore. I know it's not what he meant, but it's how I feel.
