I wonder what would happen if you told your pdoc about the trust carousel you're on, just said it like you said it here. He's probably noticed your different moods (openness, reticence, etc.) and you probably aren't the only client he has with trust issues (I think we all have them, to tell the truth).
Just realizing things can be a great help, as you said. So, maybe you don't have to say anything.
And, in terms of him thinking this or that because you want to change an appt., well, I doubt that he would disbelieve you if you said your spouse made plans for that day.
It sounds good to me that you're in this new phase of stretching and growth--which, my T often reminds me, can be good AND terrifying also.
I am doing some growth, and dissociating like crazy (heh--crazy...), I called my dog "Email" the other night. She came up for a pat, and I patted her and said "Hi, email." It sort of freaked me out that I could be so NOT in the present, but my T was pretty reassuring about it.
Oooh, this is turning into a Shar Rant.
