That sounds so hard. I wonder if you could get a second opinion, or support, from someone - a pastor/rabbi/priest? your old psychologist in Calif? a warm line?
I had a therapist flip on me too. One with lowered boundaries so I felt lucky to have found her. It was really really hard - and I did get through it. I was able to find another therapist, who has been very good. But it took me a while. I hung on for a while, hoping we would work it out. Then I looked for someone, and still held out the possibility that I would return to the first therapist once we worked things out. The 2d therapist knew this from the beginning It was really helpful for me to have someone to talk to about it all.
I understand not wnating to find another therapist. AND I get that you don't like the way she has been treating you. I imagine as you sit with it, and as you have to make choices, you'll figure it out. I'm not saying it will be easy, just that it's not impossible, and there is relief.
