Maybe your therapy is touching on really important deep core issues for you. that's why its so painful. Leaving therapy might make you feel superficially better because all the pain would subside, but you wouldn't have got to the heart of the matter. So the pain would be festering under the surface, ready to hit you again. My therapist once said to me, when I was really miserable about the transference, that the only way to get past it is straight through it (rather than stepping away from it)
