I'm so sorry. :(
Your reaction is not really pathological. I don't know if that hurts or helps, but most people would feel the same.
I'm also not going to underestimate the scariness of going out on your own, having to search for funding, and taking on full responsibility for the consequences. From what you describe, your therapist and pdoc are being a bit cavalier about that. But then therapists and pdocs are not generally business people.
So... When you decide if going on on your own is a good idea for you at this moment, I know you'll seek out consultants who are. Legal people about organizing so as best to protect your personal assets. Money people about the least expensive way to capitalize. No matter what your business is, when you're on your own you are defacto a business person. If you're used to being the artistic side, that's going to be a shock to the system.
But that's for the future. Allow yourself some time to grieve the position that was taken from you. Even if you continue on, it will not be in precisely the same position. Make sure your therapist and pdoc understand that.
