Can I ask what credentials your therapist has and if she is engaged in supervision or belongs to any licensing bodies?

From what you post I get the feeling you are quite vulnerable and open to suggestion because of your internal need to find a reason for your experiences. Combined with her questionable practises (in particular wanting to speak with your mother whom she has accused of sexually abusing you) I think you are quite vulnerable here.

I just... therapists just don't really ask to talk to relatives of their clients. That is way outside the boundaries of any reputable therapy. Something is really wrong here.
She is a Lcsw trained in Emdr. She is not supervised. Owns own practice. I get the feeling she wants to talk to my mom because she thinks my mom sexually abused me and wants to get some clues because she brought it up after she asked if my mom was sexually abused. She said who was she abused by snd I said idk she wont tell me. She said I really wish your mom would come in for a session. If she prodes to much at my mother she will lose her *****.
