I quit a few times the first five years of therapy, never for that long. My therapist has since talked to me of how difficult it was, and how I taught him all he knows about terminating in such a way as to allow the client to come back.
Perhaps she let what might be a difficult situation for any therapist overwhelm her today. I think it's worth telling her that the situation sort of got away from you, and that your intention wasn't to quit until her reaction seemed to expect it. And try to talk it over. Definitely talk it over. Four years is a long time.
And maybe she needs to learn a little bit about jumping to conclusions with you. :)
