In her role as a coach, a helper with day-to-day life, as a supportive and loving person, it seems that she has been supportive and helpful. When she starts to go beyond that, though, I worry. It isn't "adorable" that you have intense feelings that disrupt your life and cause torment for you when she is briefly absent.

She likes the idea of allowing myself to bounce around my own head because she thinks the stuff that comes up when she says nothing is interesting and important. She wants me to not operate on reassurance because she thinks reassuring me is feeding into my own issues.

The steady, consistent, ongoing presence of a T helps a client, over time, develop an internalized, positive guide and support. However, the random, intentional withdrawal of the T's support is not, imho, therapeutic. I doubt that your TT, or any good TT, would take the approach of randomly withholding herself in order to see what comes up.
