You think she's just going to roll over and say, oh you're right, actually I don't need you to do those things in order to see you again, thanks for clarifying my opinion for me.
In my mind she probably is just fed up going around in the same circle with you. You obviously have no respect for her, or her opinion or anything, you just really just want her to do the whole thing your way on your terms. Maybe in her mind this is a better ending. This way you'll be really angry and get over her.

This is my recollection of the situation also.
CE, I think you need to *negotiate* with Madame T. My T keeps emphasizing that relationships must be constantly renegotiated, and I'm gradually coming to see what he means. Madame T agreed to meet with you again if you saw another T for ... I forget what, but you ignored what she said and just asked for another appt. I think you need to address what she said rather than just ignoring it.
See who? For how many sessions? Will she absolutely not make another appt with you unless you do? You need to have a conversation with her, a dialogue and work this out.
The r/s should not be a power struggle, with a winner and loser, but a negotiation between two human beings. I hope you'll reconsider this.
I truly feel you have a lot to work out with Madame T, and if you can, it will help you grow and improve other r/s in your life.
