I know that therapists like to "go deep" on our every comment and reaction, but I would be interested when she tells you "I didn't give that message; who did?" if you said, "Maybe things are simple and obvious here. Have you considered it wasn't my parents but maybe YOU? Have you considered that maybe you're wrong?" Sometimes it is that black and white, and it sounds like she needs to take some responsibility.
I guess my greatest concern is that you are spending your individual sessions talking about group. While that could be very helpful, I'm sure you would want some of your individual time to sort out family, work, friends, etc., and she is making that difficult, so your individual session is becoming group session #2.
You sound frustrated and rightly so. I hope you will tell her directly without putting blame on yourself in your preface. Sometimes, it isn't our fault completely after all, and this is one of those times.
