Thanks Mark. The conversation with my therapist (psychologist/counseling) was about life issues that were separate from PCS. Actually PCS didn't come up at all.

In speaking with my neurologist we actually got off the topic of PCS and she lent an ear to hear some of the challenges I've had inter-personally with people that just seem unable to understand what I'm going through (i.e., "I think your concussion thing is ********! - from my father)

I'll try to pay attention to the type of conversations that give me trouble. I do know already that those conversations that tax my brain by using recall, analysis, and have emotional weight to them cause the most problems.

It's interesting, though. You mentioned that some professionals focus on symptoms too much and I believe this is true. Sometimes I'm asked to explain details of negative experiences in my life that I don't think is necessary. I try to take control early on so this doesn't happen as much.
