I agree with Dinah. I'd be very upset if my T threw something I wrote in the trash. At the very least, s/he should hang on to it until I leave. My old T used to ask me if he could keep the things I gave him to read. It made me feel heard and important. I asked him why once, and he said he'd want to read it again. Right answer!
I also agree that this is not about you, probably. Your T sounds like she needs to work on some skills. If you don't think you can talk to her about this, then a consult with another T might be a good choice. My gut feeling from your message (not knowing you or your T or anything else) is that your T is doing some things that are not generally considered good therapy practices. So, it's valid to ask whether she is a good therapist?
