I think with her being a therapist, you shouldn't worry. As I said she knows about boundaries, I'm sure, so if she can't talk or doesn't want to some other time, I think she would tell you.
How were you let down by that other person you "let in"?
I know I've posted before about my so called friend who has let me down with my own recent crisis and it will "reshape" the terms of our friendship now. I will not be there for her in her time of need, since that is how she has treated me. And that's not the way I usually operate, so it is very painful.
