I know everyone's therapy journey is different, but anyone gotten to a point like this?

I'm so angry with therapy. I'm starting to really touch on my anger and it scares me. I'm to the point where I feel like my T could just terminate me and I DONT CARE! I don't know if I shut him out or what but I've never felt this way in therapy before. I know its probably about other **** and not him but I'm furious and I want to throw something right now and break it. But I won't. I just am soooooooooooooo angry.

I'm scared

If you're talking about the post you left on the Dear T thread, I get exactly what you are saying. I am like that intermittently with my T, and just told her that at our last appointment. I sometimes hate that she cares and am so confused by it, and it makes me want to run so fast in the opposite direction. But then I come back because I have no real reason to run. And then I get too close and run again. Over and over. It's exhausting and difficult. Right now, I have swung back around to running and trying to convince myself that I wouldn't care if she abandoned me, and yet also knowing I would be devastated and being so afraid of that. It's really hard.

An angry phase is a perfectly normal part of the therapy journey.
I had an advantage here, becuase anger was a familiar and even comfortable emotion.

I've been angry lots of times before, but never to the point where it feels like, "**** it - T can terminate me then if I'm not good enough or doing well enough or progressing enough. I'm over it." That kind of anger I've never felt before with T.

I hear you.

What happens next is often (but not always) a rupture.

The patient reaches a point of such anger and despair that she walks away.
(Search this forum for the word "rupture". It's common. You'll get over a thousand hits.)

But rupture is not the end. You can go back. Ruptures can be repaired and the relationship becomes stronger because of it.

Well....that's TBD. I will see him on Thursday /: (I don't usually have any out of session contact with him). I'm sure I could try to plan it but I doubt it will happen as planned. My sessions don't ever follow my script lol
