Mair, I truly think you need a consultation with another T about the situation with your T.
This could be a bad experience if you don't get some help dealing with it.
It's something that's done when therapy becomes very difficult because of anger, conflicts, and many other things, in situations that may be getting too explosive for patient and T to deal with without help.
I've done it twice in the times with my T (once toward the beginning and once, although I didn't actually need to go) recently, when we were having a lot of conflict.
This seems like a situation that calls for it. It's terrible that your T doesn't seem to be doing well. That would be traumatic for anyone. It is totally natural that you're feeling really frightened and want to get away from her, and at the same time, want to protect and save her from things.
But it's not looking as though she's going to be strong enough to help you with it herself now.
best, and I"m sorry,
Honore
