I don't know how to respond but I wanted to let you know I read your post and hear how painful therapy is for you right now.
Projection is dangerous. The fact is, you don't truly know how your therapist feels about her other clients. It's so easy for us to assume that they like their other clients better. I've been there too. (I even had my regular appointment time bumped for another client which made me angry for a long long time).
But the therapy-client relationship is just that -a relationship. It is a private and professional relationship between two people. It definitely has different rules than other relationships and boundaries too, but you should be able to talk about anything with your therapist - including how mad you are that she gave your time to someone else. I talked about that with my t for WEEKS! (Of course her point-of-view was entirely different than mine and we did work it out).
The only way to know what she is thinking is to ask. I hope you try. It's hard. But worth it.
