Thank you both for the support! I felt so alone when I wrote the original post and now I am realizing that maybe it isn't just me whining but that my T really did screw up. I think he got angry (probably too strong a word) because he thinks I am being manipulative.

He says I have a pattern of bringing up my transferance issues but then not being able to talk about it. Then he feels like he has to pull information from me. I guess he's tired of it. All I can say is I'm doing the best I can.

Usually, when we're not talking about our relationship/transferance, I think we have a good rapport. In fact I think he is sensitive, kind, and very empathic. Even so, I don't think that I am particularly open. I am guarded and careful about what I say. I spoke to my older sister this morning and she is having the same issue in therapy -- self monitoring. It is not a coincidence , we were raised by a very critical, cold and domineering mother. My therapist knows this and he has acknolwedged it but last night, for some reason, he decided to be less tolerant. Maybe he was having a bad day :(.

Can I ask, how long have you been in therapy? I know analysis is a much longer process than other kinds of therapy. Why do you prefer analysis?
Thanks, again. This has really helped.
