LT - while your session sounds so flipping hard & your T sounds like he may not be the best fit for working with transference & attachment, I want to point out how amazingly brave and strong it is for you to continue to be honest and open with him: to say "it is kind of about you, not the space" rather than what I think a lot of people might do and slip into denial just to save the "relationship." - that always leads to MORE pain and nothing good.

Continue to be honest, LT. There's NOTHING WRONG with you or what you want or need. I promise you that. His discomfort is his own issues that he should be working out with supervisors to become a better therapist. Transference is a powerful tool in therapy -- fear of it, avoiding it, is doing a disservice to the therapy and the client.
Thanks for this!
