Hi,
First of all, you invested a lot in arriving at the place to not see your mother.
I get the impression that you felt good about it & felt it was in your best interests - even felt proud of your hard work.
If that's where you're at & want to continue along that line, now that you know your mother isn't moving, I'd say it would make total sense to find a therapist who will support you in that. And I mean 'support' you in it, not just accept that that's what you're doing.As to the Longgggg Walkkkk I would find the therapists sort of 'rigid' attitude a bit jarring. I am struck by her saying she doesn't ask patients how they are because she Knows how they are - that's why they're there. I would be very very upset to have someone say to me that they 'know how I am'. I can be feeling awful or I can be feeling excited that I've dealt with something in a way I feel great about. I can be feeling any number of different ways when I go to therapy!
It seems to me that you're feeling uncomfortable about this T for more than 1 reason. I'd Trust YOU. Trust yourself & find someone who is a good fit.....and that might not be the first person you try.
I have found that Social Workers are great & the ones I've worked with have dealt with things in different ways from most psychologists I've wored with (not all).
You know you better than anyone else, no matter what or how long they've studied, in my opinion.
Go with what feels right in your gut!
Let us know.

I think we have a lot of inner wisdom & if we listen to it, it will grow.
