If you're anything like me, feeling under pressure and at risk to lose the "together facade," I feel tempted to skip too. I'm afraid just going into his office will induce that explosion, and then I'll feel a loss of control, which I absolutely cannot stand.
The boulder analogy is a good one. You're stuck, and the only thing is for him to come and get you. I hope he gently keeps nudging you not to pull away. Maybe you need for him to show persistence in helping you when you can't help yourself. Perhaps you can ask for that? I know before you've asked him to not let you harm your own therapy and healing. I hope you remind him that there are times you need strong guidance.
Right now, you need to be rescued. Please send up the red flag to him.
