I agree with others that something is going on with austin-t. With luck, it was just a bad day for him. If that is the case, then another session will probably smooth things over. But if not, then it's time to leave and either work just with p-doc or find someone else. I know it can be so disconcerting when you think things are going OK, but then one day the t starts acting so differently than before. My last t started acting differently on what was indeed a bad day for him (early in the session he apologized for being tired, but explained that it was because he had taken his wife for an invasive diagnostic procedure early that morning). But then he continued the trend the next session and the relationship ceased being helpful. I just now thought about the possibility that perhaps his wife had been diagnosed with cancer as a result of the procedure and that worry was interfering with his ability to function well as a therapist. I wonder if I things would have gone better if I had asked the next week how his wife was. I wonder if there is anyone you could discretely ask if there is anything different in his life that might be affecting his behavior.
