Therapy can have impasses, but if you have a decent therapist, then letting them know what your doubts are can help get through the impasse. I suspect Beardy is on track when she said that part of what is hard is that you are sitting on a lot of powerful stuff that is too painful to talk about, but then whatever else does get talked about doesn't seem significant or helpful, because it's sort of beside the point.
However, it doesn't mean you have to go in and open up the powder keg of difficult stuff. Just talk ABOUT the difficulty. It could be really helpful to discuss the feelings of wanting to quit, and trying to explore what about the therapy is not feeling good to you right now. A good therapist will explore that with you.
But talk first, don't act yet. I like what Mikhail said--Wait.
You have strong feelings--that is ok, but don't make a decision like this when you are in the middle of a storm of discouraging feelings.
