She isn't doing it deliberately. She genuinely wants to help you. She just doesn't know that her skill set is inappropriate for your trauma.
Please, please, please find a therapist who is highly trained and experienced in treating trauma. Such a person will be able to help you.
Granite! I am so sorry to hear things have been so awful I"ve been worried about you.

I agree with this. I have given your T the benefit of the doubt a LOT over the years. SHe is in way over her head and it is re-traumatizing you. It is not okay.
Thanks for this!
