So my therapist did apologize for our previous session, and things did go better today. She did help me in regards to coming to grips with some more guilt that came up (that was linked to 2014 this time, and apparently that guilt, I found, was linked to some of the memories I've been struggling with. Kind of wondering if it was my fault, things like that), and asked what I needed. She's also going to be looking into more stuff.

So I guess that's a relief. She also kind of wondered if some of the CBT-related stuff she's working on isn't helping me, which...I guess. There's a lot of communication issues coming up, I know that.

Guess the best way to go is to keep looking for adult therapists. That's the best I can do.

What sort of apology did you get?
Did she admit she was wrong?

(A pet grievance of mine.)

Argonautomobile: Thanks! I'm doing my best.

CantExplain: Well, as far as I can remember, she apologized for a bit of a communication barrier where I thought she didn't care. And she did admit some of her limitations later on in the session, and say she did want to help. (Though thinking more on it, there was a bit of "I'm sorry you feel that way" in there)
Thanks for this!

When the woman starts the I's sorry you... - I say to her "I am sorry you screwed it up"

That's true. Although, to be fair to her, there was an element of "I'm sorry if I came off as invalidating your feelings" in there too. As far as I can remember. I think it was definitely in there, at least.
Thanks for this!
