I know how I feel right now, similar to other times in the past, I will soon just give up and be whatever she wants me to be.

Abby, it is so great that you can see this pattern happening... IMO this is one of the benefits of therapy. We repeat the patterns of our relationships in RL onto our T. But the difference is that this is a safe relationship to work through why we do these patterns. Personally after 9 months of therapy, I'm just learning to do what everyone here tells you to do so I understand it will be difficult. IMO you need to take this post and talk to your T. about it. You could explore what you feel is support? What you need? Why you feel what you are getting is not support? The cause of the anger? who are you really angry at or why are you really angry? etc...
Recognizing a pattern of thought or behavior while you are in the midst of it, is "change to really take pride in".
