I think a lot of the problem for me - what's the difference between a therapist bringing up something that you're not aware of or not comfortable with, and a therapist just bringing up something that's plain old wrong? My issue was therapists were doing the second while thinking they're doing the first. So exploring why I'm balking or not comfortable isn't going to help unless the therapist is open to the idea that they are just not on the right track.

So one example: I remember a lot of talk about why I was avoiding doing mood charts and whatnot. Why I wasn't comfortable and what I might be avoiding and so forth. The problem is just that "keep track of this piece of paper and remember to fill it out" isn't something I could to do, no matter what the paper is about. And no matter how gently the therapist approaches the subject, it's going to be damaging to be pushing the assumption that I really could if I just fixed the emotional block.
