I don't know what's standard, but I'm pretty sure my therapist would question therapists who pathologize and/or shame people the way your former therapist did.

Maybe it's not what a therapist is supposed to give so much as what's helpful to the person. There can be disagreement between client and therapist on that, but I don't think the therapist's approach should routinely feel like crap to the client.
Thanks for this!
