Sounds like a difficult session. But her opinion is only part of the picture, it's important for you to share the above and other things, otherwise you're stuck with her opinion, with no say in the situation.
Did she actually tell you you were 'trying to be unhappy' or is this how you interpreted it?
Did you try to explain what you're feeling and why? If and when she got it wrong, did you try to explain more? It certainly sounds like there's a disconnect, but the connect ion won't happen if and until you share with her.

She did tell me I had a choice to be happy or sad and at the moment I was choosing to be unhappy. I should explain that my t practises a lot of glasser and cbt, she is all for choice therapy and when I say I am depressed she will correct me and say, no you are depressing.l wasn't very good at it because I was crying so hard and couldnt even talk. This was the first time I couldn't even look at her for the whole session. We didn't make eye contact once.

I'm sorry that you had a tough session...she didn't answer her phone did she? ( although even if she didn't it is a huge distraction) what about the client arriving early? That shouldn't have shortened your session I would hope!

No she didnt answer her phone but she got a text and answered that. She how I was feeling terrible and her phone went off, she asked if it was ok to answer, I was just explaining to her how awful I felt and she wasnt listening because she was texting and I had to explain it all again. She didnt cut my session short but she was distracted the whole way through. It hurt because i really needed her to be there yesterday.
