So here is the end of my story about my former therapist:

I wrote an email to my former therapist, that I won’t copy in full here. In summary, I told her that she handled my transference badly, that she acted like I did something improper that victimized her, quoted other therapists from various websites who said that transference was normal and a bad reason to terminate therapy, and that terminating my therapy felt like I was punched in the gut by someone I trusted.

She responded as follows:
"I want to acknowledge your email, and note how sorry I am to hear your anger and frustration towards me. I made the very difficult decision to terminate our therapy relationship after engaging in weeks of personal reflection, seeking guidance from the American Psychological Association, and through multiple consultations with practicing clinical professionals. - I truly wish you all the best."

After I told her about my feelings, we had two more sessions, and terminated me at the last one. It was 3 weeks from the time I told her about my feelings to the session in which she ended my therapy. Kind of an exaggeration to say "weeks of personal reflection."
