I think, whenever you look at where you are in therapy, you are probably halfway through. Or maybe its like that old mathematician vs engineer joke, where theres a beautiful woman at the end of a hallway, and the two scientists are told they can walk towards her, but each time they can only cover half the distance. The mathematician says whats the use, i will never reach her. The engineer says so what - i can get close enough for all practical purposes.

Anyway, your t saw you as being halfway thru, and knew he didnt want to stay a regular t long enough to see you thru to the end. But he REALLY handled it wrong. And it sounds like he really didnt realize it. They can be astoundingly dumb.
