I think you could put together your posts into a book that people would get something out of reading.
One thing that strikes me is whether you and your T are on the same page with respect to your goals in therapy. Maybe what you are interpreting as his lack of comfort with content is not that but his desire to keep you moving forward rather than backwards. I think that interactions have different impact and value depending on whether someone is trying to improve the intimacy in her marriage, or trying to heal from rejection or loss of/from significant others, or achieve other personal or professional goals.
I find your therapy interesting because very little of mine is spent on the relationship, although I have questioned him about his reactions in both little and larger ways, but from time to time. But I'm not in therapy for relational reasons and I don't have specific relational goals-- although a side benefit has been when working on my stuff, my relationships get better.
You don't have to share, obviously, I'm just curious about whether you feel (beyond whether a session is good or not) that you are making progress on the things that cause you pain (or maybe that's not even it, anyway, as maybe your life is exactly the way you want it.
