I was unhappy about the way my last talk went with the person I was counseling with. My first thought was to write her and try to fix it. Since she was away on vacation I thought I should wait until she returned. By the time the days went by I was convinced it wasn't fixable and I should just quit. So I wrote that to her explaining what I was upset about but also telling her I was going to stop. Since then , I have felt guilty , angry with myself, and without my usual outet. It may not have been perfect but it was sometimes good. I think I have thrown the baby out with the bath water . I think I shouldn't have given up so soon. I did leave the door open but I am so uncertain of the outcome of trying again. I fear it woud be difficult , stilted, and might be even harder than being on my own. However, the pain is great!

If the pain is so great then you should get an appt with your counselor and go back to see her. She will probably let you come back if you left the door open and you will feel much better for it.

It is your counseling and you are allowed to speak up for yourself and say 'last session made me upset/uncomfortable/whatever because you said/we didn't resolve/whatever.

The trick is communicating with them, otherwise how will they know? most want to help you but they're not mind readers! however I suggest if you're uncomfortable or have the same repeated issues you find someone who is less a hassle

Some times it is the time to stop counseling for a while. Consider that option as well.
Thanks for this!
