I'm so sorry this "termination" talk hit you out of the blue, especially after you were so looking forward to the session and an opportunity to reconnect with your therapist. I don't know about you, but when I'm not feeling well, the world and everything else looks so bleak and painful. Perhaps your health issues are contributing to your pain and confusion right now.

I think your therapist truly didn't or hasn't understood how much pain you've been experiencing over trying to deal with your issues. I think a lot of us sometimes think that we're bothersome when we really dig down and tell our therapists how we're REALLY feeling. But our therapists can't read our minds. They can't know what is inside of us unless we tell them. I do think your therapist missed cues from you that you've been stressed. Instead, she took you at your word and thought things were going well. It's her job to at least talk about termination if her client is doing well and need to "go out and spread her wings". You aren't in that place and you spoke here that you need more support, but you didn't tell her in session. She did, however, pick up that you were "tightening" up when she brought the subject up, so on some level she is still connected with you and aware of what might be roiling beneath the surface. It's important that you go back and let her know what you are truly feeling DEEP INSIDE. Don't hold back. She'll actually appreciate your honesty, and it seems that from what you stated, she will happily follow your lead and continue your sessions.
