Hi. I am a new comer to the psych boards but I just read through your posts and wanted to add my 2 cents worth.
I am a psychologist and while don't know the whole story I would actually be concerned about some of the actions your T took that felt good, like calling and leaving encouraging messages. I can imagine a therapeutic relationship in which that made good sense but well, I think it points to some problems your therapist has with the dreaded "boundries." I am not a big stickler for boundries. My therapist reveals a lot about himself to me and when I think it is helpful, I reveal a lot about myself to my patients. But it sounds as if your therapist was a bit unsure of where she was in the relationship. There is no doubt that the way she ended the relationship says much more about her than it does about you. No behaviour or utterance should provoke a harmful response from the therapist. That's like rule number 1. Do no harm. And it's clear she harmed you.
I hope you do find another therapist and I think there have been some really helpful posts about that. And a lot of really great, genuine concern and caring.
Hope you're past the worst of it and on to something better with someone who has more to offer you.Zana
