It's possible. It might happen if that's where the repetition of early relationships (that need to be reworked in some way) takes you and the T. Or if it were an important stage or element in some transference enactment. -- I mean I'm not saying it is happening with you, only that it's possible that such a thing could happen. But it might be a fear you have, not a reality.
& everyone's bad at change. Don't blame yourself.
It's human nature. It's just hard not to think and feel the usual things, or move toward what's familiar and therefore comfortable and understood. Really, change against one's tendencies has to be one of the most unnatural and difficult things to accomplish. Otherwise people wouldn't need years of therapy and lots of struggle to do it.
I'd like to change too, but I can feel myself resisting and getting despondent every time I make progress. Despite myself, really.
