I'm really sorry. It sounds to me like the issue was that your therapist treated you and encouraged you to see him as your father figure - which he was not. Accepting transference and welcoming your experience is one thing; normalizing crossing your boundaries by saying it's what a father would do (although a healthy father-daughter relationship does not actually involve lack of respect for personal space!) shows he was trapped in the transferential experience with you, so how could he help you out in a healthy way? I'm sorry things are this way - hope it gets better for you soon!
Thanks for this!
