I'll talk to my T about it. She is a LMFT, anxiety and depression therapist. I do question if she is qualified to treat my condition

Im sorry to say, she might not be. But hopefully that's a conversation you can have with her.

Would it help at work to change the language you use? Instead of 'checking in', you could be 'following up' or 'wanted to touch base'...it probably sounds dumb but maybe it could help?

Changing the verbiage is a great idea! I think I'll give that a go.

I hesitate changing therapist, because she knows me so well, and we are making progress. Maybe I can see an additional one regarding the EMDR treatment.

I will talk to my psychiatrist about changing antidepressants. I'm tempted to go off them completely, but I know that is a slippery slope as well.

Great suggestion by @joeylittle about changing your script.

I have separate therapists, and it works well for me. My psychiatrist isn't trained in EMDR, so I see someone else for that.
