I'm not sure, but it sounds like there is residual anger on both sides. Yours seems completely justified, but I would have preferred to see him remain in a therapist's role more, and empathized with whatever feelings you needed to express.
I am expected to keep on saying how angry, anxious etc I feel even hundreds of times, if need be, until it's "over". I can only do that if I know he will remain professional each time. The basis of my therapy is interpersonal, so much of the hardest work is dealing with what goes on between us.
Your therapist has been such a good fit, and so helpful over the years, that I don't like to see him behaving in an unhelpful way now.
