Hi Crushed,
I understand how you must feel. I want to be objective and look at this from her perspective. Since she knows you have contemplated leaving and that you've seen another therapist, it seems a logical conclusion to draw that if she gives you 3 sessions, and then you leave, she'll have to find 2 or 3 new patients. That would make her work life a little insecure and stressful. It sounds like a reasonable business decision. It seems like a tenuous profession if you ask me; I think there would always be a fear of not knowing if you'll be able to fill slots consistently enough to be financially stable.
I like shadows suggestion of spending another hour of the week preparing for the second session. Maybe it will progress like you've had 3 sessions after all.
