That's perfectly understandable. She way overstepped her bounds in commenting on someone else's therapy, and even if you rationally know that, it's bound to be scary.
I've done that whole flash review in my mind accompanied by shame without any help from others.
Ok, this may sound silly, but it works sometimes for my ruminating fears. Remember the boggart in Harry Potter? It assumes the shape of the thing you most fear, and can be destroyed by the "Ridiculus!!!" curse. So you have to imagine the feared object in the most absurd way possible and find it ludicrous rather than scary.
Can you imagine that pdoc saying those things in a Chipmunk voice while dressed in a silly hat with big clown shoes?
Ok, just a silly suggestion.
Take care while you're gone, and as you told Aphrodite, remember that often Superrational Daisy takes over and doesn't let things be as awful as you imagine when you're in a work situation.
Keep in touch.
