One of the best quotes I ever heard was "Psychotherapy is what happens when two people get shut up in a room together, but agree not to have sex."

I have to agree it's one of the most frustrating, insane, contrived situation that I have ever run across in my lifetime.

However, it's also been one of the most beneficial.

I don't know if your therapist has been overly provacative, inappropriate, manipulative or unethical in any way, but I do know that the pain and anger you feel are very very real regardless.

I think those feeling are coming from a very very vulnerable and soft spot in you that your therapist (hopefully with good intent) has touched.

I think anyone with whom we feel vulnerable can wield a tremendous amount of power of us because innate in that vulnerability is the capacity for them to hurt us - and very badly.

I started a thread not long ago about "resolving the transference" (I think) that sort of laid out how I worked through feelings very very similar to yours.

I don't know if it would help you or not.

If you just need to vent, then vent away. I think a lot of people here will completely understand.
Thanks for this!
