do you pay this therapist, or were you somehow assigned to her, or she's through a free clinic or something, because I think that is WAY wrong to "bully" a client into doing something with threats of shunning.

If you cannot be honest with the therapist, I think there is no point in continuing to see her. If you cannot be honest because she's threatened to punish or abandon you, she's NOT a good therapist for someone in recovery.

I do want you to have solid recovery and slips and relapses are not preferable, but they don't mean "game over"

I don't know the score or the deal with your therapist, only the bare threads information here. So please first be very honest with yourself concerning that situation. It's not her job to keep you from drinkig, but it IS her job to be there as you work this out for yourself.
