confused, that sounds so hard--worrying about what to do about your T's defenses. Can you tell him that is how you perceive he acts when you tell him you SI? That it makes it hard to be honest with him because of his seemingly angry reaction? I think he really wants to help you but doesn't know what to do.
So did you set up another appointment with him? Maybe if you can set up a standing appointment with him, same time and day each week, you won't have to go through that difficult "do you want another appointment" moment each session?
