I think it's normal enough for even the best therapists to have an off day. If this is the first time, maybe you could use it as an example of trying to keep a stable sense of who she is over short periods of rupture and hopefully repair.
Even so, it might be good to mention your perceptions to her. I've gotten so that I bring up all my perceptions with my therapist more or less instantaneously. It took years to get there, but now it's sort of funny. I'll say "It felt like you didn't like it when I said that." or "I heard you not say something." Usually I am right although sometimes I can be both right and wrong, since it might have been a back twinge or something. But sometimes we figure out that my perceptions are actually more about something going on with me. I try to keep it nonconfrontational and more inquiry than accusation.
