Although no longer handing those people money to do nothing, I doubt I would have talked about the pandemic as such - I don't find talking about it useful and I can't imagine the woman being supportive or helpful about it. She also was not useful for why I hired her - so I would probably just take a break or quit (which I did once her usefulness as a place to rant about my person's situation ended). I think a problem for me with therapy was I just don't find talking to anyone about most things like a pandemic all that useful. And a lot of the time I find it makes things much much worse for me
