Wow, that's so much to go through. I hope you are okay and taking care of yourself. It's so painful, too, to share something sensitive in therapy and then to feel rejected on top of the stuff that caused the pain in the first place.
I don't know what happened in your session. But, my therapist is sometimes very cold (in my view), but then later I find out it was because she loses herself in listening and thinking and forgets to be reassuring. She's clueless (or at least was) to the fact that I need a response when I share something vulnerable.
Maybe if you feel up to it, you could share how hurt you were with your therapist and tell her what response you wanted instead?
