Based on what you wrote, she is just a beginner master's level therapist who has no expertise what so ever in psychodynamics. No wonder she failed so miserably.
Thank you for this, it really helps frame the experience for me. I’m a few weeks removed from it now, and it all just seems like a bizarre nightmare to me that descriptions alone cannot do justice to, because the feelings evoked were so overwhelming.
