(yes, i know i'm overreacting, but it's how i'm feeling at the moment.)

I can really relate to the feelings you have.. I used to swim in those feelings! All I can tell you is to hang in there. Your feelings are very real, but they are not based on anything your therapist is doing.. your feelings are based on painfully devaluing experiences from the past. If you just hang in there, though, your therapist will help you get through it and the repairs will bring you healing.
