Hey Tree - there are a lot of straightforward and complicated feelings around Monday's session, too many to address through email. If you would like to talk before Thursday, I would like to do that face to face. If that does not work out we can schedule a time to connect by phone tomorrow. I have availability for session tomorrow at 2pm. If that does not work for you, I would reserve that time to connect over the phone. Let me know your thoughts. |

I don't think you are in trouble! I do have to agree that his email sounds formal. But my guess is that he is doing this because his previous phone message was not what you were looking for and he didn't want to bring the emotional into the email where the tone of it could be misconstrued. I think he realizes that this is a major thing for you and so wants to make sure that it gets the attention that it deserves. He doesn't want you to have to continue to feel the way you do until Thursday, so he is offering a sooner time for you to talk. He recognizes that his comments/questions have caused you pain and wants to address that. He doesn't want to say something through email/voicemail that could cause you more pain by not being what you need. Instead, he wants to make sure that you can have an immediate back and forth conversation about it. Again, I don't think you are in trouble. If you are able to meet/talk with him tomorrow I think that would be a good idea.
