Feeling like your therapist isn't seeing you properly right now, especially ahead of a break, sounds really painful.
I wonder too if there isn't something going on for him that's getting in the way of his usual reflective capacity. When I've called her out, my therapist has acknowledged on a couple of occasions when she hadn't really been present. Knowing the overview of why that might have been for reasons that had nothing to do with me was reassuring.

Thanks. I think it was confusing and upsetting though I can't really connect to any feelings about that.
I asked him last week whether anything was going on outside that might be impacting. He said nothing of major significance was happening. He said a couple of minor things were going on but he'd be "very surprised" if they were impacting on him in session. I do believe him on that because he always tries to affirm my perceptions if he can. It sort of brings the focus back to what is happening in the room and now I am thinking "what has changed there?" Nothing significant springs to mind.
