"Her main point was that people don't let me leave because they push their needs over mine."
I don't get this at all - that was why she called you? I'm going to assume this had something to do with why you made a "tune-up" appointment in the first place - otherwise it seems kind of random.
Sometimes it takes some time to let intense feelings die away some and you can regain your inner peace. Hopefully this will be the case here - it is her stuff, not yours and you seem clear about that. I almost feel sad for her - I wonder what she thinks now, post phone call.
I agree with everyone else - you handled it all very well. It is a reminder that there are always two people in therapy, regardless of who is the so-called patient.
