Elli-Beth has some good ideas. Why don't you think about it this way. When you are not with the T then that is when you can put it aside and not think about it. Now I know that might seem strange, but the ultimate goal is to eventually live without thinking about it constantly and moving on with your life. As you are not ready for that yet, maybe use the time inbetween to practice it. If you say to yourself on the days that you cannot see the T, well today I am not going to worry. All day today I will make sure that whatever comes up, I will simply not worry no matter what.

I have been working on that myself and let me tell you, wow, it really feels good.
As you do it let your whole body feel it. Let every part of your body just relax and concentrate on the fact that you are simply not going to worry.

As far as your therapist goes, well, she does need to have some down time to for her own life, she does have to set boundaries with her patients. It is not just you, it is everyone. Think about her day, all day long she listens to others that are struggling and some of the cases are hard to listen too. Like you she has to process it and even may need that down time to either think about it or just to let go of it so she doesn't get overwhelmed by the problems other people face.

After all shes only human.
