OK, I don't know the man, haven't had any kind of relationship with him, and I'm not your gut obviously! But it sounds to me like he's caught up in the fantasy and earnestness of therapy and his own goodness?

It doesn't seem to me so much a matter of being unsafe as that if you're no longer caught up in that fantasy, then you all are not in the same space and how are you to proceed? Do you really want to reel it back? Does your gut feel that's the best thing for you to do, even if you can?

What are the problems that seem to be important, for you, in leaving the office all teary?
