jahrderglad, that sounds very frustrating. She sounds very "clinical" to me and overconcerned with making an absolute diagnosis so soon, instead of being a good listener and really trying to understand your problems. If she is not the one who can help you, then you have very little invested in the way of time and energy with her, and have put very little into forming a relationship with her. It just doesn't sound like it would be hard to leave her now. Perhaps you have learned enough to know she is not the T for you?
You could give her another chance but it would rely on your being very direct with her about your concerns ("laying down the law"). If you can't do that, then she will probably just continue down her chosen path.
Good luck. If you look again for a T, one who lists "trauma" as one of her specialty areas might be helpful.
