It's hard, but I try to assume the more positive reasons (i.e. give people the benefit of the doubt). Sometimes more for my own state of mind (to stop the worrying) than the other person - though I 100% get why this would be hard/impossible with your T, given the problems you're having with her.
Good luck... as for distractions, maybe you could research other places nearby to take riding lessons, since your instructor has quit? Find some interesting recipes to try online? Check out a farmer's market? Sing loudly some songs that do a good job of capturing your feelings in the moment? Write a song, or fairy tale, or poem about how much therapy sucks  ? (I just found a sarcastic multiple choice test I wrote for Ts after old T dumped me... like 15 years ago. It's still funny to read, though obviously a bit bitter!)

She wrote twice- the first to say that we will talk in session, the second in response to my asking for ten extra minutes- she said she'll see me at the regular time for the regular minutes and not anything extra even if im willing to pay.
the more she replies the more antsy I get feeling something is wrong... her replies are curt and I'm reading anger in them :-(
