It sounds like a lot of the damage from a bad LTR didn’t get addressed prior to her entering your relationship.
She needs therapy and you probably both need relationship counseling ( presuming you want to continue the relationship with changes).
As someone who was in a bad LTR, I took time to try to work through my issues but it isn’t something that goes away easily.
Thankful my (now) amazing wife was patient and understanding as those last dredges of damage filtered out. So I would encourage patience with her.
I know its likely tough but, if you feel there might be a future there with changes, set the path to get there.

I don't deny I have my own issues from previous bad relationships, but I stayed with my ex-wife way too long hoping things would change. I listened to, and hoped for, the changes she promised in therapy. I can't do that again. Especially with the way I feel in this relationship. I wouldn't be opposed to reconnecting in the future. But I just can't go through this again, I'm realizing.
