Yes, but I would find it rather odd if I just pretend she didnīt shared those things with me. I donīt mean we should spend our session just talking about her but a normal thing is to show Iīve thought about her and what she said. It would feel strange both caring too much and on the other hand not mentioning it at all. I find it to be a bit hard to know how to react.
