This feels like a sort of label, the sort that professionals use, is it really helpful in understanding how a person has reacted in a specific situation? I can't personally can't see the link here. I feel such sympathy for the poster as her T said to her she was terminating with her and so she was completely powerless. I too sent a highly critical email to my T, and had a completely different response, we had a 'rupture' and it was a really positive thing in my therapy, my therapy is now going better than ever.

However I do think it might be helpful for Paula to go to the one termination session that has been offered, even though time has passed, it might help her to express some of the anger she feels.
