The way you have described the session, it really sounds to me as if there were some shortcomings on your T's part. He didn't exactly empathize with your feelings or validate them. He introduced topics and scenarios of his own choosing. T's don't usually do that, and his sounded aggressive in nature. He pressed you an awful lot. We don't always get to have completely ideal sessions with our Ts, but this one didn't seem to be a helpful one at all. I think you're very wise to trust your own instincts. I think we all are willing to endure a lot of pain and stress with our Ts if we are sure that we are safe with them. It might be a good idea to gather all the outside support you can, and take a good look over the next few weeks at whether this T is a good fit for you. I know you are in school, but, if he isn't right for you, there will be other options. If he is right for you, you should know it within a few sessions.
