I have a feeling that the rest of the story may clarify better.
My therapist was particularly good at my terminations, though he now says that he learned all he knows from me. And I now know that they hurt and angered him and made him mistrustful of me, but he certainly never disclosed the extent of that while we were in the midst of that period. He just requested that I come in to discuss it, expressed his continued desire to work with me, and held the door open for my return. I always slunk back after a week or two.
But this sort of conversation probably goes better in person than on the phone. Is there any possibility of meeting in person to hash things out?
Have you been dissatisfied with your therapist for a long time? Feeling like you need to get away in light of your other circumstances seems understandable right now. Under the circumstances, if it were me, I wouldn't particularly trust any sudden shift in attitude on my part towards my therapist.
