If you're overreacting then so was I when the same thing happened to me. My T would tell me that no I wasn't overreacting because if you take into account my past, it is an entirely reasonable response to perceived rejection or abandonment and it is a reflex reaction, not one we have any control over. It made complete sense in the past.

Definitely let her know how this made you feel. It's the only way forward. It doesn't matter how rational you try to be about it, you still feel abandoned and hurt and rejected and no amount of rationalisation or intellectualisation will change that. You need her to hear you on this one.

I'm sorry you were put in this position, I really identify with a lot of what you've said and I'm really feeling the pain of therapy just now so I hear you!
