I wish I knew what to say to you. It does seem hard to understand.
I've also never really approved of her statement that therapy was getting too hard on her. This is how she makes her living. And she's not supposed to hurt her client with expressions of her own feelings.
I think you ran into weaknesses in her, and weaknesses in the system. On the one hand, it's terrific that they offer mental health services to students, but on the other, it seems like a set up for pain for a subset of those students. It's hard to see that as a good thing. Maybe universities should take a good hard look at allowing alumni to continue in therapy they've already started, on a fee basis.
