Well, she sets the fees, and she did set a lower fee for a short amount of time. So logically it would not make sense to increase the fee for one session. Logically. Ts are weird. You see it as rejecting the whole offer, which makes sense to normal humans! My guess is that she is not going to "allow" you to act out your anger and reject the offer by reverting to the original pay structure - that's how she sees it. You could conceivably take the "extra" money and use it to pay the copay for extra sessions to discuss this with her. I think how you feel towards her offer is similar to how you feel towards your husband - that is, she is experiencing countertransference and feeling how your husband feels sometimes when you and he get in a tight spot. She might not be experienced enough to realize that's what is going on? That's why she backtracked and then was goading you to tell her YOUR feelings? I hate that we have to "help" our ts help us, but that's why I found myself a supercute t, so I don't mind so much.
