Woah! I didn't read this post before I pposted a response... I guess I should start doing that.
Her needs should NEVER come before yours!!!! Bottom line!! I'd have a lengthy discussion about that and how it made you feel with her....
That just doesn't seem right to me.
My therapist and I have a lot in common and he's lately been telling me childhood stories, I think as an attempt to make me feel more emotionally close to him. Both of our dads died the same way, ect... But, he never lets his feelings aobut his life get in the way of my therapy. Sometimes he has some "issues" but I bring them up and we discuss them...
Oh wait, something similar did happen to me. He didn't return my call because my dog was barking in the background and he thought I was pranking him. His issue, not mine. He brought it up in the next session, we discuss and cussed the matter. We've worked through it. He always returns my phone calls now. ALWAYS!!! Discuss this with her and tell her that her issues can't get in the way of your theraopy
And the part about being needy, GIVE ME A BREAK!!! I assume we all at times have runins with neediness. She has to assume you will too. That comment was out of line and stupid, IMHO!

Talk to her!
