So here's how I resolved the whole deal. I walked in today and said to T, "Can we start over?" He asked to what point? I said, well, tell me about your vacation , I never even asked. So he told me all about his trip and it was really nice to listen to him describe his trip. Then I told him about what I had been through while he was gone. We were very engaged the whole entire session. He was very empathic. All of a sudden, the dreaded 'time's up' was spoken. Then I said, "that was better, wasn't it?" He agreed. Case closed....rupture over. NEXT?

Thank you all for your support!
