I've been seeing T1 for almost 10 years. For a while, I was so unstable that I saw him 5 days a week. There have been a few times where he has told me that he was not at his best (due to death in the family) and given me the option of canceling. I prefer to go and chat to canceling. I just don't get into the hard stuff.

So for the most part, T1 warns me. I'm trying to think if there have been other times. One time he told me he was super sleepy, and he wasn't as attentive or quick to pick up on things as usual.

I guess that is how I would define an off day. Not as attentive, not as perceptive. He doesn't do things like be curt or dismissive or shaming. I would not be ok with that. He is always calm and steady. He only has panicked on me once, when I stormed out of session. He called the cops, which was an over reaction. But when I have been mad at him or demanding he stays cool.
