She didn't acknowledge her unprofessionalism until I said how much that hurt and made me sick to my stomach. She said that that was completely unprofessional of her. No apology like I'm sorry. I later reiterated how bad I feel about it and she said that if she could take it back she would.

Ouch- this would really upset me too- I have a baby issue. I think she broke the frame and violated her theraputic stance severely- so much for unconditional positive regard. She should not have told you about the premature baby in the first place. The person she should talk to about that is her own therapist or in supervision.
This is a serious rupture, and repairing it is an important part of her job. I don't know what I would do. I would be beside myself if my T said that, but I am so attached to him.
This is a cross roads in your relationship, and it is caused by your T making a big boo boo. As the patient faced with an abandonment threat, you are free to express your feelings.
If my T did this, he would not charge for the session and be up all night worrying about it.
I am torn what you should do- so sorry horrid situation.
