In any case, Yobeth, I would bring it up with T, simply because this is an issue that affects both your life outside therapy, and your therapy itself.

You misunderstand me. It just seems odd that someone apparently that uncomfortable with others would want to be around apparently thousands of people in probably a fairly confined space. And my comment about the spirit of volunteerism was about how if she goes and stays busy, she really won't have time to worry about whether her T is there or not.
