I agree with the idea of a hotel, FWIW. But then, we almost never have houseguests. Sooo stressful.
Please don't beat yourself up so much for this. It wasn't fair of your therapist to be so rough on you. If you think of it as leaving home, it's appropriate for behavior to go through different stages as the child separates from the family. But more than that, your therapist is behaving differently and that in itself can cause a strong reaction when you're used to consistency.
I wish I had something brilliant to tell you. Not knowing how the parameters of the relationship had changed would distress me, and I guess I'd try to clarify what he expected of me, and what he thought the relationship should or would be.
