If a therapist thinks a client can waste their time - then we would, for me, have a much bigger problem because of how very deeply I believe a client cannot waste a therapist's time because they are paid for their time.

But, to take a stab at another interpretation from she is trying to get rid of you -(this attempt is based on what I have read in those books they write) - she may be saying you pick a fight with her to ward off/reaction to the feeling of shame and that it avoids looking at the shame and where it comes from (mother) and going more into that - which would be The Work ( a phrase I truly despise in relation to therapy). The threaten thing might not be that she was afraid of you because you threatened harm or scared her - but that you threaten to leave or quit when the shame gets so much and you refuse to talk about the shame itself because of how overwhelming it is.
Just a stab at looking at it a different way.
thanks stop . but I just don't know how to talk about the shame . I have no clue and she wont help me at all. and if I am ashamed of something I did (calling her when I thought it was ok and I guess it was not) why open myself up to her humiliating me more.
