I have to agree with some of the others here , and say that i dont think we necessarily fit into , just one or the other catagory. In different circumstances i can be seen as both. I think to be so ready to stereotype people into just one or the other is restricting to them. And whos to say that flight is always the wrong answer( which is what was indicated to me in the post)... sometimes flight is the smartest way to go.
I also dont like the threat to terminate therapy , because you choose to buy an SI tool. It seems to me that was a perfect time for him to encourage you to work on different coping stratagies and to also encourage you to talk more about the feelings that you were having , as to why you felt the need to have this tool. Therapy isnt something that we should be in fear of (particulary being afraid that if we say or do the wrong thing , then we will be locked up). In my opinion thats just contradictory of therapy.
