Wow, poor thing. I'd be losing it too if my T only gave me 30 days notice she was moving. Understandably you are experiencing all sorts of emotions.
I do not know you from before, but I gather, your T is not psychodynamic. Your T didn't seem to want to help you work with or through the transferance feelings. I applaud you for having the courage to share them with her, and shame on her for ignoring your feelings.
I don't know you or your history, so please ignore my two cents --- no offense taken --- if I'm off the mark. I would try to bring those feelings up again. Tell her how important sharing this stuff is, how hard it is, and you would really like help dealing with it in the short time you have left working with her. If she is psychodynamic in orientation, she should be able to help you get some sort of handle on it before you begin working with the new T.
You are losing someone extremely important to you. Feeling grief, rage, depression ... share it with her. You'll be able to share it with your new T too.
