I Am Feeling Heartbroken

My therapist of four years doesn’t want to treat me anymore. I’m so upset. I tried to be honest with her and tell her about my issues. I was scared she wouldn’t want to treat me but she insisted that nothing I could say would make her not want to. She’s leaving me like everybody else does.
I tried to open up to her about feelings and thoughts that I’ve kept to myself. She told me that I didn’t even want help and that I’m wasting my time and money.

That doesn't sound right. Therapists don't just start refusing to see a patient without cause. Would be unethical. Did something happen?

@Madhatter we had an argument because she thinks that I’m not listening to her/refusing her help.

@basicallyugly Well then, it's not like she's abandoning you. She's saving you time and money on a service that she believes you aren't utilizing. Way I see it, there are two possibilities: 1.) She's right and ending your sessions may be a better way to help you. 2.) She's wrong and not a very good therapist, so you probably should be seeking out help from a better source anyway.

That's what I think, anyway. Based on the very little I know about the situation. :p
