If he agreed to do a phone session, wasn't that with the expectation that it would last nearly the time of an entire session? Why do you think he was surprised? It sounds as though you seemed fairly comfortable on the phone, do you think that's what surprised him?

I do that too when I feel my T pushing. I'm the type that blurts out stuff when I'm ready. Usually shut down the more that I'm pushed. Or give a hard time, sarcasm, all that.

Was it easier to talk to him? Without having to look...
