I don't think your T was ever going to be able to win this one with you at your last session - I think your relationship sounds like quite hard work at the moment. I definitely understand your annoyance at his questioning the existence of the village you grew up in, but it seems to have made you pretty mad at him and had a domino effect on the rest of the conversational topics one way or another.
I'm puzzled why you are so unwilling to listen to anything he has to say? You mention interrupting him to tell him 'you're not interested' more than once. Fine if the T has form for rambling on and on about themselves blah blah, but there is a possibility that he was attempting to disclose something to try to build rapport in a difficult session, or to try to show you a new way of looking at something. And you shut him down. If you wanted to talk to the T the way (I think) Stopdog does, where you are genuinely not interested in the T's opinions, then fair enough - but if you are wanting a give and take conversation with honest contact between two human beings, then that can't happen if you shoot down the other person at every hand's turn.
* Stopdog, please tell me if I have been clumsy and misrepresented your relationship with therapy, and I will apologize.
