That's so hard to know, Speaker, if you are being manipulated to just do what is easier for him.
You have offered him a way of gaining insight, and he has refused it. That doesn't make sense to me. You may be getting into the thick of things in therapy, and one would think that your T would jump at any chance to gain insight. So, no, I don't think you're "off" on this.
Could it be that he wants you to examine your inability to confront whatever is in the video with him? Could it be that he feels it would be counter-productive for him to learn about you by watching it without you?
If it were me and my T, I'd tell him that I need to undersatnd why he wouldn't watch this video without me. I think all of your questions are fair. I would feel the same, and be asking the same questions.
