You said: ‘the therapist and/or their approach ‘just’ was not a good match for you’. I kind of felt that in that statement you were exonerating the therapist from having any responsibility in the situation.

That wasn't my intention whatsoever. I wanted you to not feel like you have to take blame for any of it is what I was writing about.
I don't know enough about the therapist or therapies really to know where exactly to put responsibility with the therapist so I stayed with generalities like that instead of analysing in depth about what she may have done wrong (other than what others already said).
What I meant by it was that this therapist did not at all seem to be able to read you and your feelings or relate to you to have enough empathy for you.
What the reason for that would be that is what I don't know so I can't say more than, she was not a good match for you. Sure she could also have been malicious beyond that but I won't be able to tell from this much.
In general I actually highly doubt that most therapists know how to have enough empathy for most clients, unless it's a good enough match & expertise. They don't have to be actively malicious or have other bad intention to fail at having enough empathy. But those therapists also exist too, yes.
