My T told me that it's important that I build a network of support around me, so that when my needs are greater, I don't have to rely on one person to fill those needs. Do you have a support network outside of T? If not, it may be a good place to start. And, of course, PC can be a great support as well - although that doesn't take the place of real life folks.

I just want to agree with mixedup-emotions. Just voicing how you are feeling can really help. Your T can help you get to the bottom of it.
I've said that I feel like quitting, when it's been really hard. I've also said that I feel needy and apologize. All it ever leads to is more discussion and a deeper understanding....which I think is the point of therapy.
Maybe you could open things up by saying "I don't want to terminate, but I have this really strong desire to tell you that I do.....I don't understand it?"
