I have found it intense and a little stressful at times to be so profoundly "seen" by my therapist. She sometimes makes me feel like she can read my mind, which I used to hate. (I don't mind as much anymore.)

Have you tried telling your therapist how you feel? Maybe she has some ideas about how to make it better, either by changing the physical setup or looking away more often or something. Or if you want to know what she's thinking can you ask? I think some amount of scrutiny is part of the deal with therapy, but I don't think it should be so intense that it makes you feel paranoid or crazy.
