I think your belief that she "pushed you into IOP" because she couldn't handle you is a problem. When I started seeing my T, he insisted I go to an IOP also. I had too many problems to be dealt with in a once a week therapy session and he knew it. It's ethical and good that a T seeks outside help for you when you need it. IOP's can keep us safe and stable while we go through hard times. It's not something wrong with you, or that your T doesn't want to deal with you, it's just being realistic about the level of care you need. I've had times where my T insisted I go inpatient for a period of time. I needed that level of care.
Did your T tell you why she thought you needed the IOP? If not, can you ask her? The idea that she did it to find an excuse to terminate you is unlikely. It's unethical for T's to terminate patients unless there is some real problem and even then, they're supposed to help you find alternative treatment.
Is it possible you're still in love with this Ada and are looking for excuses to leave your current T for her?
