yeah she definitely manipulated you. It doesn't matter if you were bluffing or whatever, she was still manipulative. Of course, therapists have a vested interest in clients staying in therapy because 1) they're a source of income and 2) because it strenghtens their ego. It's a clear conflict of interest - one of course they refuse to ever admit. I would not expect a genuine reaction from a therapist in this context. Frankly she comes off as incredibly immature and childish. "I don't care if you terminate, I don't care if you lose all your progress". REALLY? She sounds like a huge baby.
