yes, I definitely think your T is looking out for you. Trust is hard, yes, but he is giving every indication that he wants to truly help you. Again, you may not like what he's saying sometimes (that's natural for all of us), and at times you may not agree with him (and tell him why not), but yes, your interests come first with him.
You've given a perfect example of why this is so painful for you. It's a repeat pattern of what you went through w/your mother. Explore this w/your T (if he's psychodynamic) and it will definitely help with what you're going through now.
And make that list!!! Be selfish, for once in your life. Life is short and there are wonderful opportunities out there. You will be amazed at how much better you will feel if you take care of him less and work on yourself more.
