I think it's both. I think my resistance is really high because I figured out that I was using my Therapist as a stand in for my Mother and I've recently been really hurt by her.
I also think my fears about overwhelming him were confirmed somewhat so my need to pull back is a self-protective thing.
I think he is willing to give me a break -- he often talks about using therapy as a support -- he just doesn't want me to use needing a break as a way to hide from my fears of becoming a burden to him. Which means probably not reducing sessions. Especially given how my schedule for the next month looks, and the stress involved.
He might be over reacting. But that would be a first for him in almost a year. Darn if he isn't usually right...
