I think the recent ruptures, the rage I spewed at him and his relative calm throughout have given me the unconditional love I crave. That, despite my tantrums (and I said a lot of really awful things to him that I cringe at now) he didn't flinch. He didn't bend on his position either, but he didn't reject me, dismiss me, chastise me, or say anything negative in any way. He said he felt bad that I was suffering and in so much pain. I didn't believe him until now. Can I possibly hold onto this until the morning?

Yes. You have a great therapist. Mine (the one who 'fired' me) was extremely conditional and though she told me many times she cared about me and 'you are a good person Olivia'; and that she respected me, she could not contain her anger at some little thing that she called a 'hindrance' to her helping me. One was that I became angry when she took a phone call during my session to schedule an appointment with another patient! I am not convinced that any therapist I might go to would be telling the truth. It is so rare to have someone's unconditional acceptance.
