Therapist doesn't sound like a winner, so moving on to a different therapist, if that is your plan, is probably a good idea.
I kind of agree a bit with Lefty though. Again, not saying the therapist is right; don't think that at all. However, your reaction also seems a bit out of proportion. Lefty's suggestions about simply replying, "No. That's not the problem here. What you are saying doesn't make sense. Can you explain what you are meaning by that because it sounds very judgmental," and then entering into a discussion about it would be a bit more proportional. I still wouldn't go back to see her, but the level of anger, if that had been me the way you describe your reaction, would have meant something else was going on there and I,honestly, wouldn't have been truly hearing everything clearly because my hair would have been on fire. It's hard to think straight or listen accurately when I am certain my hair is on fire.
But yeah, the therapist may have been trying to discuss that reaction but did a piss poor job of approaching the issue. I'd definitely move on.
