he wants to work through it but i was just wondering if its even possible to do so?
right now i just wanna run away and push him out of my life

Hi DP, Well you made a big step when you chose to go to a therapist. If you feel you can trust this person and that their advise is helping you grow then yes there is a great chance you can get over you fear of being abandon. However like with any deep seeded feelings it will take work and time!
