Hey fairywings, sorry you're having a hard time. OK now I may be full of crap, but I'll take a swing at it.
You may have internalized something within you from a parent (I don't know-possibly your father) that reacts very negatively and with anger toward the needs of you as a child-your inner child. Maybe there is some anger in you directed toward that child who is naturally in need, a part of yourself who hates that child. "DON'T RESPOND to the child" Maybe your sadness is that anger turned inward.
The vulnerability of needing someone you care about can really suck- it can be terrifying to acknowledge it, accept support, fear rejection.
AND It sounds like the intensity with which your T communicated this suggestion was kind of frightening to you. Do you know why? Anyway whatever it was it hit a nerve. You sound kind of disconnected, like you are really in pain. I hope you get to see your T again soon. Hang in there.
