HFF,
You are smart to go shopping for a new MC. This one is marching you towards D. This is not the time to be resolving childhood issues. As you say, she can do that on her own with an IC. The MC needs to be present-oriented and working on changing patterns, and helping you two maintain civility and build connection, and restore the friendship.

Get away from this therapist.

I'm glad to hear you're getting stronger. This is essential so that you can have endurance for the road ahead.

It's still early in the game. Keep getting stronger.
