Thanks for your input, really really thank you.
It helps to know I am not alone.
I will give it another try, and maybe bring it up with her.
I agree that it is uncomfortable for me to have her full attention and that she is probably just trying to show she is interested.
Thinking more about it, I guess if she were NOT looking at me, that would likely be a problem too.

I think your T is just new and going to a T can be very self-conscious feeling, especially if a new T relationship. I'm surprised you revealed to her your SI on the second visit, but KUDOS for being so... brave! That's probably the toughest part, to be open and honest and direct and stuff.
I would feel like I was under a microscope if I was with a new attentive T, especially if I shared something so personal and it was paid attention to like that. However, what I know now is that it would be the sign of a good T if they paid such close attention to a serious issue like SI right away.
I think your T sounds caring so far. Just take it at your own pace, and don't be afraid to tell your T if you feel uncomfortable sometimes, that way she can be more attuned to your needs (because EVERYONE is different).
It can
FEEL like scrutiny when it's not if you get that kind of attention suddenly after revealing something so personal--- but it's not scrutiny, and you aren't being judged. I honestly think she just wants to help you and make sure your safe from the sounds of it.
Take care, and be good to yourself. You made an important step forward when you were so honest and open with your new T so quickly. It will probably not always be easy, but share with your T how you feel--don't just relay events. You deserve someone to care about you, and this T sounds like she's making sure you are looked out for.
