What happened (or should have happened but didn't - "frustrated" sounds more like a "something didn't happen" emotion) to make your therapist mad at you?
Is it connected with what you were discussing on this thread?

About your therapist seeing your dependence on him as a temporary stage which it should be your objective to outgrow, while you see therapy as an ongoing need like a Type 1 diabetic's need for insulin?
If it is, remember that he said it wouldn't be therapeutic to terminate you if you didn't become independent. Think how much less therapeutic he'd consider it to terminate you now, when you're having to deal with so much stress at work because of your former boss's retirement plus your parents' and your brother's demands on your energy and the war.
I wish I could say something helpful, but I can't because I just cannot imagine anyone being mad at *you*. If I were a therapist and could choose anyone here as a new client, you would definitely be among my first choices. You're *much* better than pizza :)
