Hi, it can be wise to talk to her about how you felt. That can work if you prepare a bit before you tell her. (Try to write down how to explain, tell it to the mirror in the bathroom or go a place to where nobody can hear you outside and tell your phone (film)). May be it will help to think about different ways she can answer you and think upon what could have been her intention. If she was provocative, may be she meant to help you to think something through. Therapists have their tools you know.
If you change therapist because she hit a vulnerable "place" in you , the problem will pup up again with a new therapist. If it is more about the connection between you and your therapist, may be a change will help, may be not.
Take your time to think it through.
Take care!
