I think the problem is hers, not yours based on what you've shared so far.
If my therapist thought to end sessions because I wasn't communicating in some window of tolerance.... she wouldn't be my therapist. Therapy for me is having someone be there for ME, whichever part shows up, however I'm able to express myself.
I would feel very invalidated to have a session cut short like that.

I thnk that might be exactly how I am feeling... Huh.
I thnk her bg is tough love approach? I don't know, before today, it was like I couldn't wait for our session, I felt better with her. She made light of my different moods before, but it's like today she ran out of patience... Buuuuuuut I never talked allowed.... Sober... Before. She does know this. I really want to believe that she believes me when I saw I am clean?... She does sound like a really unsensitive person, even her voice mail message I was like 'AH!!' Lol. But I saw her dog side, session one when I was my desperately needing help not wanting a criminal record self, I was able to tell her some past abuse stuff with tears and all! I remember her saying 'that's good, you are not saying it like a robot'.... Problem is that is usually how it goes... I am a bit of a robot about all my baggage crap. Maybe she is discouraged I asked her last time if she was and she she turned it around and asked me.. I said no (she for the record, didn't answer).
