I don't want my T to throw me away, but it looks like that's it. I'm feeling vulnerable.and fragile and to have this happen has really thrown me. I'm not doing termination. I'd rather just never go back
I hate hate HATE ultimatums ... and to have one thrown at you by your therapist??! Wow, seems like a sucker-punch to me. I'd be very inclined to never go back.
I don't know the whole story, of course ... so I'm reacting emotionally. What does your T want you to do--and why are you so adamantly opposed? There's a huge back story here. So maybe you're about to throw out the baby (your progress with this T) with the proverbial bathwater (the emotional warfare between you).
Clearly the relationship needs repair. You aren't feeling heard, and I think you have a right to prioritize that ahead of your T's ultimatum.
Let him know the communication isn't there--you don't feel heard.
Take best care of you ... * gentle hugs, enough to last through this *

Thanks for this!
