Recently my therapist was very angry and frustrated with me for an entire session. She said a lot of harsh things and her voice was raised the whole time. She seemed to go over all the most hurtful things she could have said. She compared me to people I am nothing like, compared me to her other clients who do better than I do, told me all the ways I'm failing, and not trying, even though it was the opposite of how I was feeling about my efforts.
I told her I wanted to get up and walk out and never come back. Despite the fact that I was in tears, and I never cry in front of anyone, she just repeated the negative stuff again. I wasn't trying etc. That was the closest I've ever been to leaving early.
