It was indeed a big deal for me, but in a positive way. I'm glad my T was able to find a solution to the problem, because otherwise we would have missed our session; since I only see him every 1-2 months, this would not have been good! I would not have thought of this idea to salvage things, so I am glad he could think outside of the box and come up with this (and so swiftly too). I also know that had I been in a more fragile emotional condition, such as doing active grief or trauma work, this solution would not have been a good one as I would have needed that private time with him in his office, where I could feel safe crying, etc. (Thanks for the birthday wishes.)

I tend to suffer from under-reading of situations rather than reading too much into things, so I guess that flaw in me helped in this case. The truth is, I almost did decline, but for a different reason. I had the "no thanks" text entered on my phone but reconsidered and did not send. I am glad I changed my mind.

It feels good that it all worked out.
