i'm sooo sorry you have had these interactions with your aunt.  i know it must hurt and is also baffling. can't give you a dx on her but there's one piece of good advice my T told me i'd like to pass on to you for your protection:
he asked, how do you stay healthy in an unhealthy relationship?
his answer: A HEALTHY DISTANCE...(i didn't have a clue at the time...  )
and it sounds like you are trying to do just that.
as for your relationship with your T..to reassure you...i'm certain it's working just like it is supposed to be. your T is there for you so don't second guess yourself and your worth. you are of value and worth.
