Sunnydays,
I am so sorry you're having such a difficult time. Therapy is such hard work. It's good that your T said that it makes sense to him that you would "just want" He's validating you and your feelings, so try to hear that.[He didn't say that you're not supposed to be sad] I don't really get why he said "Lets not go down that road..." but since I wasn't there I wont second guess him.
The best cure for me when I feel that sad is a distraction - either work or a book or a movie, I just sometimes force myself to do something and not stay idle. (I'm not saying you are idle, I imagine you have a busy life with studies, etc)
You have a lot of pressure on you with all the demands, so give yourself credit for all the hard work you're doing.Sometimes I call my T and he always makes himself available. That helps if I can allow myself to trust that is OK to call.
I hope you have better days. Wish I could lift you up!
Take care.
