Wow ... that does sound like she blind-sided you. Perhaps in a not-so-healthy approach, she is trying to motivate you to "change" ... or shake up your therapy process in what seems to be a bold move at your expense.
I would be angry and scared and demand answers, "Why now?"
And then alone I would be worried that she was sick and needed to speed up the therapy process ... or that she sought supervision and this was his/her new idea.
Years and years ago, (like 30 years) I was in therapy and suddenly my t was approaching everything completely differently ... what she said and how she said things ... questions that were asked ... I was so confused. At the next session I asked, "where's my t? can you bring her back?" and she confessed that she was in supervision and apologized for the change-up [she was a young t].
Often there is something going on for our therapist that changes their work with us.
