Okay, I have to join this thread because I am in the spills food all over myself club, too!
Anyway, rain...it sounds like you have been frustrated for awhile. Maybe you can frame your discussion with your T in terms of what your goal is/was when you started, and how far you've come towards it. That is a good reason to terminate, if you are not making progress towards your goal. It could be that you and she are on different pages as to what you want to do. Also, you mentioned that there was this "one thing", I think, you really wanted to get better. Is that what you and your T talk about? Or does she not pick up on that?
Good luck, and try not to worry about the T's feelings too much. That may sound cold, but she is a professional. I've been "fired" by a client once or twice. It may sting a bit, but it's also a good learning experience. And in one case, I absolutely agreed that I couldn't be what she was looking for in a T, so ending therapy was very appropriate.
Take care,
