Thank you a lot for your reply.

Definitely make me consider things a bit differently.

You are right its more to do with me than her.

traumatised her : her trauma or yours?
It must have been horrible for her to see me getting worse and worse : what were the horrible aspects for you as you became worse and worse?
deep sadness towards it : her sadness or yours?

These are just my crude questions, but it is worth considering your feelings rather than imagining hers. Perhaps you are expressing concern about her when the concern is yours for you. I don't mean that she doesn't feel some concern or warmth towards you, it would be strange if she didn't, but I think such emphasis avoids the value of therapy.
