    While I strongly agree with your advice to seek professional help, this answer seems unreasonably dismissive of OP's advisor's abuse. The situation OP describes is not just "cooperation not working very well".

    @user73885 It is clear that one's own perception colours the interaction, but there are some of the supervisor's sentences that raise red flags; and they sound plausible. Of course, if two highly sensitive people get into a negative feedback cycle, bad things can happen which are not - strictly - one side's fault. Nonetheless, the current case sounds more like the supervisor needs to be kept as much at a distance as possible. Commented May 23, 2017 at 16:00
