It’s a shame you are losing your T over this but i can’t say I blame her.
She made a mistake (then again, I don’t think she did this on purpose, did she?) and even though it is frustrating, she did own up to it... As two mature adults, it is not socially acceptable - in any context - to erupt in violence to make a point, esp if it is a male client exhibiting such explosive demonstration of force.
It’s not because someone is a T that it gives license to clients to behave any way they want & for Ts to just 'take it'. There ought to be mutual respect & yes, there are repercussions for breaching those tacit rules of interaction. Ts do not have to put up with threatening or aggressive behaviour, esp if they feel their personal safety is at stake. She clearly felt unsafe enough that she decided to bow out.
It would be best to apologise and move on. She is under no obligation to work through this with you but she should still give you referrals, if only via a secretary or in writing.
