I don't think I could keep seeing him, with him behaving like that. I would probably tell him I'm terminating because I didn't feel there was sufficient rapport between us, and I might (if I had the guts to), tell him of some of the other peeves you bring up. I imagine I'd take a little break from therapy and then look for another therapist.

It sounds like you have some middle class resources, so you can afford to choose. I think I would only put up with him if I had to, as in, if he worked for a community mental health center and I couldn't afford anything else. But, that doesn't seem to be your case. I would think there would be many other therapists in your area who would want to see you, and would treat you more respectfully.
