My T also suggested Full Catastrophe Living. I bought it, but haven't read a lot of it yet. She's also trying to get me to meditate. My T sounds a lot like yours. I've never run into her in public, but I don't think I'd be phased by it if I did. She also told me that she would follow my lead if it ever happened, I would need to make the first move. Just remember...your T is just a person. If the chance of running into her bothers you enough, is there another meditation group you could join?
