I can't believe I got myself into this mess.

This is not a mess that you created. It was created for you. I think you know that you can not uncross that line. I think you are a very brave person for walking away from it.
It was very disrespectful that she ignored your request to not respond. If she continues, I would be very clear that you want her emails to cease and desist immediately.
Not all therapists are like this, in fact some maintain and respect boundaries and are consummate professionals at their craft. I hope that you will not let this sloppy and unethical therapist derail your recovery and that you find a good one to guide (
not direct) your healing.
Again, this was no fault of yours.
