Um. Sounds like someone made the mistake of thinking that passion and experience make one a good teacher. I'd bet she's passionate about the issue, and has felt the effects - but hasn't thought about what can be reasonably shared to help others.
To be fair, it's a very tough topic because for you, a good, hard silks workout might help relax your compassion-muscles, and help you sleep (I hope your sleep is good, regardless); for others, a faster paced, more energetic workout would do the same thing. For others (e.g., me) exercise as treatment is a non-starter.
Similarly, for you, reminding yourself about detachment might be good - or it might turn into a self-scolding; for me, this could turn into "you're not detached enough, DETACH DUMMY!"
So I'm not sure about how much there is to teach other than watching for the signs, and doing *something* - even if it's only watchful waiting - when they show up.
