I don't envy the position you're in. I think you might benefit from this with him if you really try to hash it out with him...at this point, why not?
You deserve to be heard you know, and I'm not sure you have felt heard, I don't know.
Something's not working though, something major.
I don't think it's a question of him "not liking" you, but rather of you two not connecting like you might need to (for whatever reason). I wonder sometimes if that fear of not being liked gets in a lot of people's way when they try to talk in therapy. A friend of mine used to say all the time "You always have to not care a little.", meaning you have to forget yourself enough to be able to comfortable in whatever you do. That fear of being rejected can be HUGE, and feeling like that's what is happening can be really painful, but you have to know that sometimes people just don't meet each other where they might do well together.
I know it's hard. Let him know. Whatever happens you might feel better for it. If you have to find another therapist, you might find one you can connect to more, I don't know. You are absolutely able to be helped my dear, absolutely.
Like so many people say here ;-)........you might want to print your posts and show them to him
all the best,
