YES --YES --- YES!!!!
...only, I'm not late. That would be against the rules. But as far as resistance goes, absolutely! It is hard not to blame therapy for your pain, even if intellectually you know that therapy just gives you the space to feel and deal with, your pain. And talking about the process, the resistance, etc. is "easier" than talking about the underlying issue.
Obviously you have already made an association to the time frame of all of this. And, I remember reading a post of yours about how your new pdoc had an interpretation that put your mind at ease about a worry that had developed. I don't want to unease your mind but somehow these things seem connected to me...are you somehow worried about what might come out in therapy, because it will rekindle this worry? (Of course I could be all wet.)
Don't be too hard on yourself. Call, try to reschedule and don't forget to think about hormones, meds, post-holiday let down, exhaustion and SAD. At least here, it has been gray and cold. ick.
