I know my T cares about me. I think she cares about most (all?) Of her patients.
I find that to be a good thing, I know her comments are coming from her heart as well as from her knowledge and training.

But the worry part worries me!
Been seeing this T for 4 yrs and right now is THE WORST family situation I'm dealing with .
Serious ongoing medical issue with my husband of many years.
It's been central to many of our recent sessions.

Well, T let me know she has a vacation scheduled starting today. Covering T contact info.
But call her on her cell if anything turns bad with his situation/me.
I told her I wouldn't do that. The woman's on a one week vacation, I have family support, I have a P-doc.....I'm not calling her.
Well, she said she'd worry about me and want me to call. I finally said yes but didn't mean it.

Her worry for me is touching? But not useful. Now I'm lying to her which I don't do. I don't want to worry about her worry! Keep it to yourself!

So, last nite, husband landed in ER, and has been admitted to hospital. Several treatments begun, tests, etc he will be "ok". What's the point in calling her? It's a burden to me, not a help.

Vent over. Boy, surprised how strongly I feel about this seeing it here!
