T, you're usually great, but I think whatever is going on in your personal life is throwing you off your game. I'm going to have to bring it up and it's going to be awkward, but we both know that I'm the one who's going to get (more) hurt if you keep having, shall we say, moments of misattunement. It's little things, things I would forgive or ignore if you were anybody else, but I need you to be who you've always been to do the work I need to do right now. If you can't be on your game with me, I'm going to have to scale back enormously on what I bring into session, not because I'm trying to take care of you, but because I need to protect me. It would be ideal if you could just get things together again and be present for me when I'm there. I trust you and I trust the process, but I also think this is really, really delicate right now.
