Okay, I agree that a lot depends on context. First, was your therapist joking when s/he made the comment about "paying double?" I can see affectionate sarcasm, but I can also see malice there.
The "why don't you just leave" when clients talk about what's not working for them is a shady way of shutting down discussion.
Overall, I don't like the sound of this person. Would it be devastating for you to fire the T? If not, why not do it? Please don't feel like you deserve to be treated this way. That feeling can keep clients stuck in bad therapy relationships for wa too long.
