GirlI:
This thread is very, very interesting.
My feeling is that when your T asked what does it mean to you to feel she was annoyed, she was trying to discover important things about you and was functioning the way I expect a good T to function. She may not be a good fit for you right now, she may not be what you need right now, but from what you've said I don't see her as dishonest, unethical, or incompetent.
You've said repeatedly that you "despise" her. On the face of it I'd say don't continue to work with someone you despise (despise is a very strong word---who else in your life do you despise?), but the fact that you are writing and thinking so much about this (and the fact that you haven't quit her)indicates to me that there's something worth exploring here. Your strong reactions are worth exploring, and I think maybe somewhere deep you know this.
Also, just curious.... Did you realize you said to Racer that you'd "get back AT her" instead of what I'm sure you meant: get back TO her. ?
My feeling is that this could be a very valuable therapeutic relationship, but of course only you can decide whether to quit her or to go along for the bumpy therapeutic ride for a while.
