Of course, no one can make your decision for you. However, I do think you need to stick with this therapist at this time.
She appears to be very astute and caring as well - for your own best interest.
Talk and work with her as to what areas might not take such a physical toll upon you, and what signs you need to recognize that tell her therapy is going "too fast" for you.
You see, you are ill just from trying to make the effort of covering more ground, proving that this T is correct: You are a very sensitive person who requires a more delicate time of therapy.

This T is much more beneficial for you than what you think you want. Another who will barge full speed ahead in spite of your hurt might set you back years in therapy.
What difference does it make how slow you go, as long as you are on the right path?
Learning to take your time and not cause yourself further injury is key, imo.
Talk with the T about how to perform good self care during this process. That would be my first goal with you, for your own best interest and health.
