My therapist would ask, "what good is the relationship we have if you don't lean on it when you need to?"
He also often points out that most people don't go to therapy to talk about all the great things going on in their life. So as a therapist, he expects me to be "less than perfect" - and he is OK with that. I'm sure your therapist knows how hard things are right now and he is OK with your anger.
Last summer I found myself fairly suicidal and my therapist called me everyday for awhile. I was mortified to need him so much and yet I truely did. It made all the difference to accept his help.
I hope you can not be so harsh with yourself and just accept your therapist's caring. He sounds like a keeper!
