You have way too many other concerns in your life than to have your therapist in them so often. Like her, you want to leave her, like her again, need her, obsess about her, upset with her, down about her. Her, her, her???????
Sometimes transference itself is a wonderful thing to discuss for the actual therapeutic process. Other times, it can signal that the relationship must end. I can't help but wonder if your therapist is capable of utilizing such information effectively. Have you spoken about this with your psychiatrist? Maybe he/she could help you determine next steps with your therapist. I'm not sure if any of our feedback here at My Support Forums has really yielded any good or help, in regards to your relationship with your therapist.
Is your therapist a specialist (or have any experience) working with people in the LGBTQ+ community? If not, it might be good to look for someone who is. They're out there. They can also be helpful for mood disorders, and other issues.

She specializes in autism. When I was trying to figure out a therapist a couple years ago I was originally going to work with this young guy a couple years older then me. Which I thought was going to be great. But once I told him I had autism he said he needed to switch me to an autism specialist. I was adamant that my autism was not my main issue and that I’d like to work with him. He insisted he switch me to someone. I specifically said I did not want to work with a women who was over a certain age because I felt like this could happen. After awhile I did end up with my current therapist who is in her early 40’s. And yeah what I thought might happen did happen.
So I do feel like I ultimately ended up getting hurt although I do give my current t a lot of credit for helping me figure out stuff and giving me the diagnosis of gender dysphoria and giving me the name of the doctor I work with.
But I am just so tired of doing this and tomorrow I’m just going to ask if we can legit talk. Talk about transference and the med situation and the food situation and how everything is just getting really out of control. Because I am ****ing tired. Also I think my split dose of my injection is starting to help me have different feelings and views about stuff. In a good way.
