I *do* understand. It is very hard to be without that buffer system. Especially in a job full of deadlines, etc. My father used to act as a buffer between me and the outside world. Then he'd yell at me and make me miserable. It wasn't until he largely retired that I realized the buffer was more important than his yelling at me. I still miss him and it's been years.
But maybe the upside to his unpleasant experience is that you will have even more appreciation for what your secretary does. If you manage to convey that to her even more than you now do, she'll be even happier in her job.
(Same for the therapist, I guess. But I figure they know going in that we'll be unhappy when they go on vacation.)
