Weird. Raises some red flags, based on xT experience. Were you in agreement on what the "main thing you went to her for" was? And what is it about 'should have been resolved'? Either it is, or it isn't. Decisons based on 'should' are fishy. Of course, if she's planning a change of direction in her career and you're in the way, that's ... cold, but hard to argue with :/ She knows about your attachment issues, right?
Anyway, very hard to give advice - only you know what you need help with the most, what feels like help to you and what alternatives you have. You still have time with your current T, so it might help if you can openly discuss these issues with her. Hopefully she doesn't get defensive or dismissive (though it sounds a bit like she might have already?)
After the xT Fiasco Part 1, I felt like I don't want to ave anything to do with bloody therapy ever again. AFter a few months I decided I'd try to sort things out with her, and after about half a year I sterted considering more therapy with her. After Part 2, I again felt like taking a break, but after maybe about a month I started looking for therapists again (mainly thanks to encouragement from a friend who ... long story, but managed to find someone she could work with) I might be lucky, but so far the one I ended up with seems to work out better than I dared to hope. Part of the reason is that unlike xT, she refrains from telling me where I should be and how fast I should proceed, she seems to be content to work with what is. BTW I'm still not over the xT stuff, after well over a year, even though that was the main focus for a while and still comes up in sessions every now and then. It does feel like a lot of time wasted, but out of the realistic alternatives, it's probably as good as it was likely to get. One thing I finally managed to learn over the years (maybe, kind of) is that trying to hurry things WILL end badly for me, no matter what anyone (including myself) thinks.
