Where are these intense emotions coming from? My anger has reached unbelievable levels

I don't want to not go to sessions, but I'm terrified of him, afraid that he will say the slightest thing that triggers my anger.

Are you terrified of him or are you terrified of your own anger?

He tells me that I'm upset because he won't tell me what I want to hear, but I what I want to hear will rid me of my anxiety/anger. So, it's not as simple as me just wanting my way - there is a reason.

I think you should place more value on the work YOU are doing in therapy. I find myself identifying very closely with what you are saying in that I place so much value on what T does or doesn't say in order to alleviate or cause feelings. I realized that I really needed to work on identifying my sense of self because I was placing so much value on what T does and absolutely nothing on what I do-- It's really hard and I've just started to really work at it.

Feelings those intense emotions are exhausting, painful, and a million other things. I really feel for you and understand what you are going through.
