When my T finally offered this session sheŽd already told me that she was more or less certain that we couldnŽt continue. As I felt misunderstood and as I felt there was no room for criticism I also felt my trust in her more or less vanished.
I had of course taken this session if she had shown a more open and understanding attitude towards me reacting the way I did. As I told my T I wanted to find a solution but she made her decision anyway I just thought it would feel strange meeting her again.

Since you declined that opportunity to discuss things with her in person, there isn't much else to do. She's not going to pursue you because you already declined. Ts should offer termination a session but since you declined her request to discuss further the situation, the final decision was yours. She doesn't have to offer anything after that. T won't pursue you if you cancel sessions, turn down an offer or just never return. Even if you're struggling inside a T will take your word for it if you tell them therapy isn't working.
