Maybe not that baldly, but therapists seem quite capable of firing clients.
Look, it sounds like this guy is bad news for you whatever his intentions. I'm not clear on why you're staying? I'm also curious as to why psychoanalysis, especially for a suicidal client? They don't seem a match to me.

I think that's kind of outdated? Like 60s, 70s outdated? Not that there aren't biases in client selection still. In any case, why do you say he doesn't find you likable? Has he said that directly?
(I mean, I like you, just from your written word. I can't imagine you being less articulate in person.)
