He said he knows now not to talk about other clients with me. Trash talking then yeah we both agree. I feel really sick right now. The call and the emergency session should be signs of caring? Why do I feel like he is screwing with my emotions? I want to trust that he cares but I. Feeling paranoid that he’s trying to hurt me.
((GC)) It sounds like he’s being garden variety defensive because you hit a nerve.

I wouldn’t take it on myself.

You’ve had a decent relationship with him and he’s shown genuine signs of caring from all I can tell — I’d consider this a moment to recognize he’s messed up himself and take it from there? I’m going with the assumption here that you really don’t want to quit etc.
Thanks for this!
