I am aware that it could look that way, but I am confident that this was not her reasoning. If you want me to share with you, you would do well to be candid with me. She intuitively realizes this and walks the line extraordinarily well, avoiding most things personal in her life but throwing me a bone once in a while. Regarding her latest comment, I think she was just trying to assure me that excellent help was still available even if I had to move - and the comment about 'a much better therapist' was simply a slip.

I agree that she should bring this up with her own therapist, but sincerely believe that she wasn't fishing.
