((((EM))))
I'm sorry you are having to go thought this. Days that this is therapy really suck. I have no idea why you T might have pushed when you really directly asked him not to. Not sure if there was some strategic goal he was trying to achieve when you were in you current state. I'm not a T, as a fellow patient, you session seems like it was a bit rough. (((Lots of caring hugs)))
There has only been one situation in my therapy where I had specifically asked my T NOT to do something, and she totally disregarded my request and did it anyway. I was so angry, totally floated away half way through the session. It was truly the worst session yet. We never directly talked about this situation, but a few months later, I realized that it was important that she handled it the way she did. I don't know if it was right or wrong or if another approach would have worked better. At this point I when I think back, I believe she had a good reason for doing what she did.
Maybe you can just be angry at your T. But also trust that he must have had a good reason to do what he did whether you can see it at the moment or not.

Just be careful here. Just because you are feeling or interpreting his remarks this way, does mean that this is way your T was really trying to convey.
(((EM)))) Take your time, be angry, if you don't feel like speaking or communicating with him at the moment...don't. You have a good therapeutic relationship going with this guy, you will work through this situation and get to the bottom of what is really behind your response.
