Very rarely does anybody try considering things from the Therapist's side of things. What about the part of the story a poster doesn't share?

Of course it's her job to keep her **** out of the room but to suggest somebody do that perfectly 100% of the time is unreasonably absurd. Not only does everybody - you, me, therapists, their clients, etc. - have their own baggage full of problems they also allow it to affect their work or other parts of their lives from time to time.

I agree. Sometimes you can gain more from a "bad" session. That is the opportunity you have in therapy. How to have the difficult conversations. Instead of saying, "well i see you cant take care of me today so i will leave in order to unconsciously take care of you," what if the OP would have said, "i see you cant take care of me today as you usually do, AND ITS MAKING ME ANGRY."
Eta - i acknowledge its difficult to stay in the moment and putvwords to what we are feeling at the time, but that IS our only job in t, imo.
