I'm having a dilemma. I feel that this therapist and I could possibly work through this. On the other hand, I don't know how fully present, professional, and neutral she can be without letting her personal feelings get in the way. She is going through something difficult in her personal life now. And I am still feeling really hurt by what she said even though she said that she would undo what she said if she could.

It would depend on what was said and how long I had been seeing her. In your case, I would want to know if she can get past what you had said. I do think it would be hard for anyone, including a therapist, to not react to an attack against their child and grandchild. I have a friend who said the only thing that would ever make her angry with me is if I insulted her grandchild or dog. So to answer your question, it gets back to context and what was said by both of us, as well as the degree of trust that has been built up over time.
