Oh LT, it sounds so complicated. I can understand you feeling frustrated with your T for not just explaining why he can't stand. It sounds like he wanted to look at what he perceived to be the underlying issues - not sure how much is his counter transference, but sounds like he wanted to make a point of saying he wasn't going to change his behaviour. Maybe something in him didn't want to be honest at the time about how much his back issues are affecting him. It does sound really sensitive for you both so I hope you can work with it before he goes away.
