It makes me think countertransference. There must be something going on with her.. Otherwise, why be so defensive and stubborn? It's like she is wearing blinders and too emotionally enmeshed to be the T she used to be.
Maybe she, too, is struggling with the ending and making a poor job of it. I guess it shows that she is human and messes up BUT that is not good enough, because of its/her impact on clients. Shame that some Ts stop getting supervision or regular consultation.

Duuuude.
I wrote her a letter at the start of this awful chapter in our relationship. Was it just last month? It may have been.
I told her exactly that it felt to me like she’d stopped doing her own work, that I actually noticed around when that had changed. I also asked WTF they learn at therapist school about countertransference.
She didn’t engage much with what I’d written. Which was frustrating to me.
