I am going to wait until my next appointment and then discuss it with her, if that's what i need to do.
I actually re read her text messages too, and i think she said what any therapist would say in that situation. I don't know why i got so angry with her...i think its because, in my head,she 'made' me face stuff that i have kept hidden for so many years (about 20 years) and i don't know what to do with that.

Maybe you're less angry at her for 'making' you share that with you, than for leaving you to deal with the intense feelings afterwards?
I think you already know this, because you put it in quotes, but she can't 'make' you do anything -and maybe you talking to her about this actually indicates a healthy level of trust you have built with her.
Maybe keep in mind that there's no 'bad guy' here, as much as it may seem so. You are not too much for her and she is not abandoning you by not being continually available for you. There's no one to blame, either yourself or her.
