What she said about her focussing on me for 50 minutes being a luxury many people would love has really hurt me and I can't forget it. How do I move forward? Should I bring it up with her tomorrow?

I don't know, Aaa. I am, frankly, baffled at a T who characterizes their own job as "a luxury", especially when it is done in a way that shames the client. I just don't get it.
I do not think that you are too sensitive, stupid, or too needy. You have needs, because you are a human, and humans have needs. You have the right to have your needs met, and your T is a professional whose job it is to help you to where you can get those needs met, and to some extent it is also her job to meet those needs in the meantime. That is my firm conviction. Different clients have different needs, but it is not the T's job to classify those as more or less worthy - your 50 minutes are yours. And you are showing a lot of strength to be dealing with your issues by going to see her.
I kinda want to slap your T.
