Yeah, it would be sweet. It's the kind of thing that seems to happen in sessions that some other babblers talk about. If this seems totally far fetched to you, then maybe that's one more piece of evidence that it might be time to find a way to move on. Especially if she has actually told you that she can't validate you anymore because she's seen you in relationships in group. Ouch! I would think a really great therapist would be able to validate at least aspects of your experience, no matter what. Unless she thinks you're just totally making stuff up. Failing to find the valid parts of your experience seems like a lack of imagination, not to mention compassion, to me.
If you do show the post to her, and she twists it around into some totally different view, then I'd be really interested to hear her interpretation. Because I think your post sounded very reasonable, strong and level-headed. Maybe she's the one who's living in some made-up therapist fantasy land. (I don't mean to be disrespectful of your therapist and the strong bond you have with her. Just concerned for you.)
