I know when I start losing touch with my emotions it's usually because I'm very angry about something. I don't know if it works the same way for you. And I think you're probably talking about something more profound than my experience. But in this thread you've used a lot of language about fighting and being angry.
I suspect if I were in your shoes I'd be furious at my therapist for being less than fully enthusiastic about going back to school. Do you feel his attitude is a slap in the face for your attempts to find solutions? Do you feel that his lack of support for the idea is tacitly undermining you by undermining something you know you excel at (i.e. studying)? If it were me I'd be angry about that. But that's just me.
Sorry, I can't seem to string a coherent thought together at the moment. I hope you find a way to sort this out with your therapist.
