"After she told me about the personal situation that was going on, I felt that there were two other people in our sessions - in the room with the therapist and myself. I would start our sessions asking how things were and if everything was okay. It became difficult for me to focus on myself until I learned that there was a possibility she would move out-of-state. I was going to have my own emotional response to the situation as a patient eventually."

How is it even remotely acceptable for a therapist to tell clients of their personal struggles like this? Pretty sure therapy is not designed for the client to take care of the therapist. This is exactly what goes wrong when it does. The client, already dealing with their own burdens, is now forced to carry burdens of the therapist.

Good boundaries need to start with the therapist. The therapist did not adhere to good boundaries, yet, the op is expected to? Makes no sense to me whatsoever.
