The only time I actually had a therapist terminate with me rather than the other way around was when one was moving to a different state. That was a bummer because he was really good.

However, I have had many, many times when I *felt* like a therapist was going to fire me. That's a huge fear of mine actually, that I am so screwed up that even a therapist can't handle me. Also that they secretly hate me--even though they say they don't. Sometimes therapists will say something like "I'm having trouble knowing how to help you,"--usually when I'm crying and angry and not talking. And what I hear is "I hate you and I wish you weren't my client." But when I'm not depressed I can see that they were really saying "I wish I knew how to help you, can you tell me?"

A decent therapist won't just suddenly terminate a client. Maybe if the client is making threats toward the therapist or her family I could see it. But just because the client is difficult? It shouldn't happen. I can see a therapist disclosing that they are having difficulty, but that should be with the goal in mind of figuring out how to help the client, not get rid of her.
