I think one of the goals in therapy is to realize the "self" and the "other." So just as you are learning about your own individual, unique place in the world, you are learning about your therapist's own individual, unique place in the world. And when this happens, there are times where you will disagree/butt heads/do things differently from the other.

This is going to happen with everyone you meet.

All you can do is tell them how you feel. They don't have to change if they don't want to, and it's not healthy to try to "fix people" to be how we want them to be. I think asserting your feelings and not running from your therapist could be very helpful. The courage to realize WOW, this person has helped me a lot in some ways, but in other ways, they haven't, and I can accept that, because the world isnt so black or white.
