Before I found my current T, I went through at least 3 different therapists and 2 support groups. They left me with such bad experiences, it was 20 years before I was able to even consider therapy, let alone go to one
If something really doesn't feel right with your T, definitely address it then consider whether they are the right fit for you. It sounds like their methods and areas of specialization may not be what you need. As others have mentioned, a T will not only be a shoulder to cry on, though it may feel that way at times, and I think they DO fill that need sometimes. A T that is a good fit for you will give you insight to why you are crying or upset, how to address and resolve the issues in your life, and help you develop the strength and tools to resolve the issues on your own.
I would recommend addressing the issues with your T, find out her policy on emails, her treatment methods, her philosophy on psychotherapy. You may find that her specialization is not what you need.
Good luck!
