Your T may have purposely been avoiding the news for her own well-being. But she should have been trained to understand the "shock factor" of new news, esp. concerning Covid. She should have been able to remain calm instead of freaking out in front of you. If my T started freaking out, I'd be freaking out more (since I freak out already over this new variant). I'd be essentially panicked because my T isn't able to help me because she's reinforcing the fear factor I'm trying to get over and she's mirroring or something.
I hope you are okay, and I hope your T is okay so that she can help you be okay.
