Has anyone ever just decided that they are too broken and fragile to maintain a therapeutic relationship? I've been there awhile now....

I have but I usually try to ride it out. I wish you well.

Another way of looking at the question is can therapy give or do for me what I want? Maybe you need some other kind of environment, softer and more gentle, and more frequently perhaps than you are doing therapy? Or in addition​be to therapy?

Hell yeah!!
Sorry to here you are struggling with this, I think that the therapeutic relationship can be extremely difficult for this of us suffering with relational difficulties. It can be a painful reminder of what we don't have but desperately want.
Therapeutic relationships drive me insane because I want them so bad but when I am in them I want to get away, run far away from them. It's a very painful attachment for me. I sometimes feel broken and fragile but you have to remember it takes two to have a relationship so your ts attachment dynamic will impact your own process. I am fearful and avoidant and my t had a disorganised attachment so we could never really have a strong relationship because of our attachment patterns. Maybe something similar is happening between you and your t.
