shrinking violet,
you didn't fail her! It was never your job or your obligation to make HER life different or most successful. YOur only obligation in therapy is to yourself, and her job is to help you.If things didn't work out between you two, that is not your fault alone, it's just an issue of chemistry together.
Are you really worried that you failed yourself, somehow? You're the more important one in the You/T relationship. Maybe you're projecting your feelings onto her b/c it's too painful to face the fact that you didn't accomplish something for yourself that you wanted to? (<--- amateur armchair analysis...feel free to ignore!)
