My Therapist had a terrible cold last year and she was pretty remarkable because she never canceled a session. She was just armed with tea, water, and cough drops. During one session she had a full blown coughing fit for a minute or two. I don't know if she was embarrassed but it triggered my own embarrassment. I always have a fear that I will have a coughing fit during an inopportune time plus I was feeling helpless watching her gasping for air and feeling so awkward to be there. Like I should have removed myself to allow her time to regain exposure. She was apologetic that her coughing interrupted my session, but didn't show any real embarrassment. I actually admitted that seeing her brush off what I consider to be such an awkward type of moment was pretty eye opening.
