Thanks, I think I am just going to have to be honest with him about that. I think he feels a duty of care to me and that it would be unethical to suggest any kind of lessening of sessions because I have severe rejection issues he doesn't want to trigger. It leaves me second guessing what his needs are. If he doesn't look after himself therapy will be ineffective anyway.
