I want to retreat completely from him right now. I feel like I've opened up way too much to him lately. I've got so much other stuff going on right now, I really didn't need this too. Our next appointment is Monday and I have no clue how I'm going to handle it.

I'm really sorry that your therapist reacted like he did. I would also be devestated if I had a reaction like this. However, it does sound a bit like you triggered something in him & he reacted? To threaten to stop email contact over the phone is incredibly insensitive of him, especially as you have made yourself so vulnerable to him lately. I would definitely talk to him about it on Monday. He sounds like he's pulling rank on you. Changing a boundary like that over the phone is very unprofessional of him. Try not to worry to much about it over the weekend (I know that's easier said than done)
