You said
"My therapist (outside of IOP) hopes that I will go and explain myself and maybe they'll extend me"
That is what I think too. Walking out means you are not ready to graduate. Not getting attention one way, walking out gets attention another way.
As far as work goes, making a commitment not to be the pesky person always saying hurtful things would be a good practice. It always helps me to go out of my comfort zone in terms of making an effort to relate to people on a more sincere basis.

At no point was the feedback that I was nasty and critical. It was that I was too dramatic....the feedback really was personality and style based. Trust me, I talked to HR and several others and their reactions were shock and appall, especially from the HR person. I try very hard to not say things that are nasty. If I do think I may have, I seek someone out and apologize if they seem hurt. I even manage to edit my thoughts about people so that I address behavior rather than a person. My teams have commented to me many times through the year that they appreciate that I set an environment where blame is not tolerated and the focus is on fixing the issues.
As far as the feedback, they gave it to me, and could not back it up.....so I told them that until they gave me real examples, that I could not do anything with it.
As for quitting, there is a time to hold and a time fold. Knowing which is which is what's important.
