Hi,
Maybe it would be helpful to talk about the frustration and rejection you feel. How often do you see him?
I think if you see someone 2 or 3 times of week, the intensity is different than if you see him once a week. The tenor and the tempo of the sessions could be different.
Or that could just be his style & you can both negotiate something that feels good for the both of you. I think persective is good, sometimes if something is so intense for me (PTSD too) it's good to touch upon it, process it, let it go a little at a time - instead of being flooded. That's what's worked for me.
I think bottom line, it would be wise to talk to him exactly about the way you feel, as you've stated in this post - (I don't know if you have, maybe you have?) & begin a discussion. Because, in my opinion, the way you are relating is problematic for you - which is more grist for the therapy mill and could possibly prove to be helpful.
