I guess that I'm not so surprised that you felt "out of it". You are in the middle of a lot of stress right now - that always makes me feel out of it... The email from your old therapist really impacted you (again, this isn't surprising to me) - So there would be likely to be some resistance on your part with the new therapist ("If I can prove that I can't make any progress with you, either, then I can go back to my old therapist"? or "See, you don't know me very well - if you did then you could get me to focus"? or "I can't live without my old therapist, regardless of what you do"? or something else?? I'm just guessing).
You are tired. You didn't want to open up a lot of stuff and then go on vacation. You don't want to hear the new therapist say that you shouldn't see your old therapist again. You are wounded by your old therapist, you don't want to give your new therapist the opportunity to wound you as well.
Have fun on your vacation. Try to relax. There will be time in the future to talk to your new therapist.
Falls.
