I think that is a great start. Honestly, in my experience with being hurt by my therapist thr only thing that works is to just keep talking about it. Talk about thr mixed feelings you may have about being how you felt about her being involve in the planning but also being hurt that she called your sister. IFor me directing all of the mixed feelings and getting to the root of them is all the really helps. I also find that doing so has strengthend our relationship in time. It isn't a quick fix when it comes to repairing trust. It sounds like you have both worked on a plan for the future which is also great and hopefully will in time also make you feel safe.
