I think you've described it pretty well already. Something like "I have constant opposing feelings about engaging in therapy. I want closeness, but then I push away" seems clear enough.

For me, "ambivalence" is a useful term. I feel ambivalent about discussing difficult topics in therapy - part of me wants to, part of me doesn't.
