I understand how hard it is to get a T with a low income... especially a good one! I also have financial issues but fortunately have been pretty lucky when it comes to therapy (although you might not think so if you read some of my recent posts).. but I really am sorry you've had such a rough time. 11 months is an awfully long time to wait.
It can be very hard to try to open up and be vulnerable with someone, only to be kicked out the door 50 minutes later. I've strugged with that quite a bit. Hopefully in time, as you get more used to the structure and your T, it will get easier. How long have you been in therapy? I got the sense that it wasnt too long, but please correct me if I'm wrong.
It's okay to be defensive and protect yourself when you need to. It can serve an important function. Your T should understand and probably even expect that you wont be able to open up completely right away.
Again, welcome. :)
