Yesterday I finally got to tell him a traumatic memory that I've spent months trying to bring up in therapy. I trust my T, but for some reason it's even harder now to look at him.

Yes. I was not completely honest with my therapist for a number of years - trust issues, you know. When I decided to reveal all I was able to look him in the eye.
So, as you thought, the more that I ‘opened up,’ it became second nature to look him in the eye. I didn’t feel that I trusted him, though; I just wanted to get a lot of crap out of my head and decided that I’d nothing to lose.
Alas, I have to find a new shrink and therapist, now. And I’m putting it off.
