Perhaps he wants you to learn how to have more positive self talk... to work on seeing a positive in the situation... to see an event from another point of view..
It is hard work to change the way we view things...

Try to trust the relationship you have...tell him how you feel...
You were right RTS! I couldn't help myself, I messaged him and asked if he was mad at me for not using my skills to cope yesterday, because I quit therapy, and went on a negative emailing fit. He, replied "No, and don't be mad just trying to get you to use the skills." Then I asked, if I could still go tomorrow since I "quit." he said, "I'm going to let you answer that after you think about how I explained our relationship." (he explained last week how our relationship is different than my past one's, and that our relationship will always be different as my T...(stable,reliable,trustworthy) no matter what's going on with me) and then asked.."so what's the answer?"

I said yes, then he said yes.
