That was really a tough phone call. It feels like such a role reversal -- you asking to come in and clarify and talk about it and her saying she doesn't think this is the time. Hard to know what to do...
Only you can really answer how you feel about therapy, if you want to continue, or if you think it is time to stop for awhile. But there seems to be so many things you aren't talking about, and she isn't asking about. If these things are out in the open, can you work on your relationship with her and will this be helpful? Do you know why you are holding back?
As far as talking about sex, it is really hard. But I don't think you can do it if you don't trust that your therapist won't judge you or pressure you to do certain things. She can't help you if you aren't honest but she has to make it safe enough for you to be honest.
I hear how badly you are hurting. I wish I could make it all better for you. Try to put it away for a few days and then maybe relook at it. Give yourself a fresh perspective.
Hugs from me.
