I'm sorry, too, but I think this is good advice. You're giving him so much power -- and that's kinda turning what therapy is supposed to be about on its head. It's supposed to be about *you* and *your* needs. If you're experiencing this sort of hurt from your therapist, I'd say your needs -- the basis of what therapy is supposed to be about, remember -- are not being met.
Also, this is my own bias: have you considered a female therapist? I know that some people do just fine, or even better, with a therapist of the opposite sex, but I've always found that I could really only deal with female therapists. I fall into gender roles with men, no matter what the relationship, and that interferes too much with therapy to work for me. Maybe seeing a woman would help you more?
Again, I'm sorry you're so hurt right now. Good luck.
