Ugh, I'm sorry. Hope you can find another, much better T. My T tried to do a sort of "tough love" thing on me once (not to the extreme of termination, just refusing to give me validation on something when I desperately needed it because no one else would give it), and I reacted horribly to it. Though didn't tell her at the time, just sat sobbing in my car for a half hour in the parking lot after session. I told her the next week, and she apologized, saying she'd used the wrong approach. She hasn't really gone that way since.
Sounds like your T just didn't know how to help you. Or maybe she expected you to react a different way, but sounds like she didn't have a very good read on you. She shouldn't have handled it that way at all though. Hope you can find a good replacement who gets you and your needs.
