I've done it. Not all that often, but I have. I'm lucky that they understood what was behind my bursting into tears and telling them I hated them all.
I wish I knew what to do to keep those meltdowns from happening. You're right. In the moment, it's hard to think rationally or calmly.
Is it possible, maybe, to monitor mounting stress? It rarely really comes out of the blue for me, although it seems that way. It usually comes after a period of mounting pressure that just becomes too much all of a sudden. Maybe those strategies your therapist suggested would be useful somewhere in the process?
