your reactions sound understandable; if you didn't like or trust your therapist you wouldn't be feeling this way.
you need to tell her how you feel. try writing down on paper what you want to say, and what you want to request from her. write down what you are upset about, too. ask her to give you feedback and clarifications.
it could be that there were legitimate misunderstandings. however, it shouldn't be the norm. if your therapist cannot provide what you need, you should think about finding someone who can. if you don't feel respected, you will end up not liking yourself... which defeats the point of therapy.
