T asked today if it was okay to stop where we were (we did some really deep, hurty things today). I asked him what he would do if I said "no." I figured he'd just laugh and schedule me for my next regular appointment. He stopped, looked at me and said he would work me in at some other time in the day if stopping right there felt wrong and he had another appointment right after mine. I didn't take him up on it, but I was touched that he took that approach.

I think he's a keeper.
