But it is going to be so hard because now that I've pissed my T off everything is going to be about that. I feel like she wants to see me SUFFER for my sins now. And she keeps bringing up that "if I feel that way maybe everyone else does too?" But does everyone else feel that I am mean and difficult? I'm not sure??????????????????????
P.S. The authenticity stuff is a real issue. She could be a perfect T and I would still have that exact problem.

Is it possible that you can't get 'authentic' because you don't trust your T completely even though you like her? I mean, if someone tells me everything is my fault, I will not be inclined to expose myself and risk more pain.
I have an opposite situation. I struggle with what my T calls my 'inner critic' and she works to help me see the good in myself. I believe I should suffer and she says I don't need to.
