Yes, broken trust is hard to work through.
But if part of your problem that you're trying to solve in therapy is working through trust issues, you might feel a lack of trust with *everyone.*
Only you can know, based on your relationship with your therapist. But you need to at least speak up about this stuff so it can potentially be mended. If your therapist does stuff that bothers you, and you never say anything....how can someone just walk off without even trying to discuss it? After eight months?
I just know that my therapist and I have had to work through difficulties and moments of lack of connection together. That has proven to be the most therapeutic part of my therapy. If I never brought this stuff up for discussion, we never would have gotten anywhere.
What would happen if you said, "I feel like so many of our sessions are just me repeating stuff I've already said and it seems like it will never get better." Wouldn't that be a useful thing to discuss with your therapist? What if you said, "It really bothered me that you talked to my GP without warning me." She might apologize. She might ask why you didn't bring it up before. It might lead to a useful and revealing conversation where you learn something about her and something about yourself.
I mean, not everyone is a good fit for everyone and some ruptures can't be repaired, but to leave without even trying? I just don't get it...
