Exactly like me.
Agree with what you and everyone wrote with 2 additional concepts:
First, are you highly analytical/intellectual anyways? Like I am? I analyze things to death, which helps in some parts of life—academia (for the scholar, there’s no such thing as “over-analyzing”), jobs--my work success was from being an "ideas" person and being an "analyst" in work duties. But it doesn't help in other parts of life. If you always analyze, you're just being you but with a heavy emotional catalyst for the therapy material.
Two, as analytical as I am (you, too, are), logical analysis doesn't work very well with emotions. I live and breathe as if I can figure out anything and everything in the world of logic (and am successful at it), yet I can't figure out emotions and relationships with other people with the Spock-like mind. It's particularly frustrating if you are very successful with your analytical abilities to come to terms with the limitations of those abilities in all parts of life.
"My t is a very good one, and she knows her stuff. So there's no logical reason why I should be so uptight about trying to figure it all out myself."
A problem with the above statement is that the main "stuff" to be known is you yourself--she doesn’t necessarily know that "stuff" well and never will know it better than you. You don't need to do it all by yourself, but no one can give you self-knowledge; they can only help you see more clearly and parse through the detritus and irrelevant. There are plenty of logical reasons to be worried, but some of that will certainly attenuate with time working though as noted by others.
