Thanks...we've been Emailing and sort of clearing the air before my next session. BTW, her child, although still a child, is 16. In her defense, she does not have a secretary. She owns her own practice and the only "employees" she has are a couple of other T's in training (LCSW's, etc). I decided to Email her about this tonight, and when she responded, she said she intended to do the same, but I beat her to it. I was uncomfortable about being in the room with this personal phone call, but she did it for my benefit....she didn't want to "hide" anything from me. It takes me awhile to get warmed up to open up, and I just had, then the phone call. Then took me time to warm up again, a little longer....but I did. She couldn't stay late because she had to go to an appt. She regrets not telling me that.
