I would say go with your gut. If you've seen him a few times and your feelings are just getting more and more negative, then don't stay. I stayed with a T that was supposed to be an 'expert' on my issues for two and a half years and got no meaningful work done. I figured since he was the expert he must be helping and I just wasn't realizing it. He and I just weren't a good fit, I realize now. I have a T with a lot less education now who is a specialist in a whole different field (substance abuse, which I have absolutely no problem with) and he and I are wonderful together. I love him, and have told him so.
I might give him one more session if you think you could really explain how you're feeling and see his response. Then make your decision. It's not fun having to look for a new T, but it won't be helpful if you stay with a T you don't click with.
Good luck.
