Your communication style comes across as very demanding and abrasive. It could potentially be a reason why you have trouble making other people behave in the way that you want. If your approach with getting the therapist to do what you want is not working, then it would be a good idea to ask yourself if a different approach would work, if a compromise/different demand could satisfy your needs, or if the therapist's reasons for not meeting your demands are indeed valid to most others. From your past posts, it seems as if trying to do things strictly your way is not working and it might be time to consider a new method.

I really hope you are open-minded to these ideas. I feel sad that you are hurting and frustrated rather than recovering and happy. I'm sorry this sucks. I'm afraid that if you reject everything perceived as criticism or everything that does not directly solve your problem in the way you want, that you might not get better as quickly as we hope because your illness is blocking your ability to learn the proper recovery tools. It's not your fault. I hope my reply isn't perceived as something negative because I really care about your well-being (it took 30 minutes to write this) and wanted to offer an outsiders perspective.

One thing I like to remember is that the fish knows the least about water. It lives in the water 24-7, and has no other environments to compare it to.
