I don't think you can ever ignore the fact that someone could really hurt and or abandon you, because that's life. Rather than try to believe something you know cant be true (if nothing else the therapist could die suddenly) I would figure out if it's worth worrying about, if it's justified, and if not why cant you let it go? Maybe the key is to accept that bad stuff will sometimes happen, not every time, but occasionally, and that you can survive those times.
