ECHOES, thanks for understanding. Yes, T's words did seem remote. And I was having this weird sense of being pushed and pulled next time I saw him, pendulating between being sunny, the human he really knows and gets, and being sunny, his client who is professionally interesting to him. That's why at times during that session, I referred to myself in third person, "this client is worried about blah blah blah," instead of "I'm worried." It was a way of my saying, without having to say it, "hey, T, this is something about me you may be professionally interested in."
