I questioned myself perhaps because T1 has shamed me like this before, telling me basically that I overreact to "small things" like this. I'm going through so much right now....and am very vulnerable. So I was afraid maybe I was, again, being oversensitive.

That makes a lot of sense. Well, I have similar issues about being highly sensitive and hypervigilant; on radar for rejection and abandonment. My therapist has pointed this out alot. Even though it's a common trauma pattern, it can make people feel like walking on eggshells. Maybe that is why your last therapist pointed it out. I think if they just point out negative things, it can be shaming especially if they don't connect it with a display empathy or validation; especially why you might have that pattern. The delivery can be important.
Your current therapist is triggering your issues; making it worse. At the same time, people who don't have that type of sensitivity would be upset too. So it is not you.
Sorry you are so alone in it all.
