In last session T was trying to give examples of how sometimes there can be positive results to negative events. He stated right out of the blue.."not to get us side tracked but just this week as a result in a break in at my house, I learned that possessions are just things"...then he moved onto another example and we talked about other stuff...but in my head I was angry... I was angry that T told me about it but then didn't really tell me about it... and then I just pushed it down and kept going with session... I didn't have time to talk about it at the end cause we went right up to the end... and really I didn't want to talk about it... because honestly this is supposed to be my session.

Then about 3 minutes after walking out the door... I had all these questions swirling around... were his wife and kids home? was he? ughh...

why did he have to break my therapy world with the real world...

By yesterday, I had myself feeling bad that I didn't even ask if everyone was okay or say anything...so I sent an email (which is okay to do) and just said that I was sorry that this had happened to him and his family...etc etc... I felt good about sending the email.

Then I got a one line response...Thank you for your kind words. Which for some reason annoyed me. I don't know what I expected. I don't know why I'm annoyed... Maybe I'm just annoyed with myself...

Anyone have any thoughts or can make any sense of this? anyone else's T's divulge accidents or bad things that you wish they hadn't? how did you handle it?
