Just like Maslow's hierarchy of needs; the bottom level, the base of the therapeutic relationship is safety and security. Your T blasted both out of the water following your vacation (of all times). I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt until you posted about your phone conversation. I don't think I'd go to anyone he referred me to. I assume when T's make referrals, they recommend professional/personal friends.

I'm sorry, Kacey.
