I agree to that and the pain concerning this specific event will go away much easier than the long-lasting pain from the former therapy. But what makes me very anxious now is that there are very few potential T:s left.
One who some months ago offered therapy at a reduced fee, now several months later I donīt know if she has available slots at all. Then, the older T I donīt have that much of an apprehension about and Iīm hesitant because I think perhaps the stress behind not knowing when sheīll retire could be too much to handle for me.
Itīs reassuring knowing her comment about negative transference in some way came out of her own insecurity. I told her several times I was very interested in psychology and I also brought some quite analytical inputs to the discussion when talking to her. Perhaps my e-mail to her in a way was what she waited for.

If she freaks out like that when you ask questions or express concerns, whatever they are, you don't need her. I also wouldn't stress out about her stupid comment about your "negative transference." What she did is a reflection of her own incompetence and insecurity, it is not a reflection of you.
