First of all, it's really up to you decide whether or not your aunt loved youand to come to that in your own time and on your own terms. It certainly isn't for your therapist to tell you that she did.
As Ellie-Beth stated. I would give it another shot but I fully agree that she has already crossed the line. Therapists should be able to keep there issues out of their sessions but, perhaps, she was having a REALLY bad day. Who knows.

The best Therapists that I have had have guided me so that I "discovered" issues and answers "all by myself" rather than the Therapist telling me outright.

If my Therapist just tells me something that I'm not ready for, I may not believe it, I may not act on it, I may even hold it against him.

Yes, it's up to you to learn and understand your family issues on your own with gentle guidance as necessary.
