Deli go back and check your interpretation. What I read out of the give-give-give thing was that he was saying that you're not doing any work. You show up, he presents suggestions, things for you to think about and do, and you don't follow-though. Like you're expecting him to solve your problems and to change your life.
If a T has a patient who's being passive and not showing interest in doing anything themselves---take-take-take--at some point it's a waste of time for both parties. You can lead the horse to water....
I'm with Pegasus in thinking it was a deliberate, tough for of confrontation to shock you, hopefully into sense or to at the least get a dialogue going about why you're not participating so actively. I don't see it as a judgment of you as a person as you seem to think. I don't think he's saying you have a problem with being selfish out in the real world. Poor choice of words on his part.
It's very easy to want to "cut and run" from a T when things are uncomfortable.
Check it out with him. Tell him your interpretation. Get him to clarify. I think he wants that discussion.
Tell podc about it. Since he knows Austin, maybe he can give you insight into A's style and pro opinion about the approach taken in general.
Don't unilaterally terminate. The only one hurt by that is you, and you will be hurt. Stick with it for a while (at least).
