She snapped that I would always just be stuck and never get better if I didn't basically make life changes that I'd make if I were "cured". I was furious but I just said that I understood and left. I don't know how I can continue to work with her if she thinks that I'm not listening to her if I'm not all better suddenly (after many years of struggling). I don't know what to do really.

omg this is literally how i feel. well maybe not exactly, but i just remember during some sessions with my old therapist, i would take her advice and she would mention how proud she was of my accomplishments and how i was working on my goals. there were times where she told me to do "homework" and i would do it and tell her that i did it but ahe would never ask about it or review/ go over it. it was kind of like, she assigned it to me cause that was just was what she was supposed to do. idk, it was just confusing cause i got told that i was making progress and then, i completely failed it. smh sorry i'm still pissed and humilated about the entire thing
