I hope things go well in your session.

Well, I didn’t ask him to explain his non-response as it was happening. I sort of processed it after I left our session. Today when I asked him about it he said he thinks all questions have meaning. I’m not sure I agree or what I think about it, but I’m glad we discussed it. I think I’ll be more careful about asking questions in the future.
