I think it is probably more important that you work with someone who you feel able to form a relationship with who you can come to learn to trust to work through some of those issues. You might have more luck finding a therapist who is useful who says they specialize in avoidant attachment - though probably not likely. It isn't... a buzzword currently. Trauma... A lot of similar issues arising. Autistic spectrum is popular these days and the avoidance you talk about is fairly built into that.
Do you think your current therapist is a bit hopeless with respect to helping you? Not a good fit?
This one can be tricky... Tricky to know whether to go with your gut or whether you are doing your avoidant thing.
Can you see alternative therapists? Do some interviews... See a bit more about what else / who else is out there before making a decision?
