IRL I really urge you to quit this T. (Usually on this board when I see people advising others what to do like this I think it is too strong advice.). You have one life to live, and I think that sticking with a T who you don't respect may be destructive long term. Perhaps it seems impossible to quit - I remember you saying before how you quit and then changed your mind, you felt a huge sense of loss? I know first hand that quitting can be hard. I'd advise you to make a support plan. I've found acupuncture helpful, not just the treatment, but the contact with a caring person who seems far less judgemental than my T was, (I actually feels she knows and respects me better than my T ever did, and that is just in three sessions). Maybe reflexology, this can really help emotions and sleep too, and you would have contact with a caring professional? And find a new T who will have the skills and personality to hold your emotions. I think you said once that you think the way your therapy is is a pattern and perhaps you think it will be repeated with another therapist? But I would counter this by saying you are older, wiser, more self aware and you need to believe in yourself. You do believe in yourself - you have started studying, now take the next step and move onto a new phase in your life by leaving this T. Your post in this thread had hints of bitterness towards your T, this is a destructive emotion to feel, I can't see that any good long term good will come from this.
I am writing this to you with the best of intentions, I hope my words are helpful, it's hard to know sometimes when you write your opinions to strangers?
