I know she has PTSD (and I worry that sometimes my story might trigger her...although years of therapy seems to have helped her because she doesn't react to my story in a "triggered" way), anxiety, depression, and troubles sleeping. I know she is human and has her own problems.

She also knows I'm a very highly sensitive person and would be able to pick up on her being "off" if something wasn't right, so she always tells me if she has something major going on that might affect how she does therapy (even just minimally).
Well I could but I don't want to be intrusive--I've kind of been under the impression that T's don't really want to share about this stuff, and I'm not really sure what I want any of it confirmed. And I honestly can't tell if knowing that she was having a bad day would help me at all. But on the other hand I'm not good at ignoring that when I know it's going on.
