I think because of the way my therapist works, he called it out at the beginning. Like if I said, "I don't want to ask Sue for help" he would ask -- "it seems like you don't like asking me for help either, is that true?" I sort of learned how to put some of this into words.
I might go in and say, "I'm finding what I'm feeling about therapy confusing. It isn't just the issues we are working on, I'm surprised at how important this time and you, have become, and how much brain space you take up now. Do you find this happens with many of your clients?"
These conversations are hard. But it will probably help you if you don't have to keep those walls up to protect yourself from caring. Good luck!
