fwiw, it sounds a little like you're feeling threatened and your defenses are going up. sometimes this comes out in the form of "i'll quit before you can hurt me/hurt my feelings." sometimes when your shrink or therapist gets too close to the truth, those defenses go up often without you knowing it. (and then it's called transference, which i hate.) you might look to see if either your shrink or therapist said something or even moved in a particular way to set something off inside of you. it's not likely to go away until you face and address it in some way that you can find tolerable... anywhere from talking to the person directly or writing it down on paper and throwing it away.
of course, i could have completely missed this one. :-)
take care.

p.s.... i'm taking a break looking for a new pdoc. i'm emotionally beat from the whole experience. i still have an appt. scheduled with old shrink so that i don't run out of meds. i might put off until january looking again, since my insurance has run out for the year already.
