Yeah, I don't think he considered the idea too deeply. He wanted to support my business and make me consider the idea of "celebrating one's body". He honestly has no need for anything that I can offer.

He didn't specifically ask me to make something for his wife. He asked me if I'd be willing to make something for the kids to give for mother's day, for him. He didn't even mention his wife. So, he did have some sensitivity there, at least. It was implied, obviously.

I am wondering if this is just a tactic to get me fired up so that I would talk more about my struggles in session. (I was pretty shut down.)

(Here I am, trying to convince myself and others....MKAC, come kick my arse....OK, truth be told, it was a ****** thing for him to do, completely insensitive. But if it was anyone other than my T, I wouldn't be reacting this way - which makes me want to minimize and judge the sh-it out of it.)
