Hmmm....
It doesn't really sound like your therapist has a good idea of what's going on with you. You call him because the difficult work is stirring up too much between sessions, and he thinks you're laughing in the telephone message? (Did I get that right?). You're silent in sessions and he thinks it's for control reasons? I think all of us have sometimes or even frequently been so overwhelmed that our minds blank out during sessions. My therapist seems to have some system to decide whether or not to "call" me back out of the fog. And he's being "direct".
Can you print out a few of your posts on this thread where you discuss what's really going on in and between sessions and what you think he's thinking is going on?
Or you can cobble those ideas together in a letter to him. I often had trouble saying those things directly to my therapist, but it was a lot easier in a letter. Don't let the time constraints keep you from getting the most benefit from your sessions. A year an a half is a fairly long time, and you can always go to therapy in your new home.
Please take care.
