your T is not just encouraging you to do things nor merely giving you ideas of things to do. she is inviting you and accompanying you to events. those aren't the same thing. i don't see how your T is empowering you to do things on your own but rather creating a dependency
on her by taking you to events. how does this help you to be more assertive or empower you? this is a dual relationship as she is now socializing with you. unfortunately, dual relationships with the T don't usually end well. i unknowingly had a dual relationship with my last T and it screwed up the therapy which resulted in my deciding to leave therapy with her.

Then, she sends me an email that was the conversation she had with the director over the teen group with the church. I read the response and then scrolled down to read what T wrote to director. T wrote that I was a social dropout due to college for two yrs and that I was shy and needed a group of people my age to be with and to accept me!!

what she did here is a violation of your confidentiality with her. i think your T has jumped the shark. i understand you have feelings for her but she doesn't seem to be acting in your best interests at this point. i'm sorry. i know you are confused and must be upset about all this.
