I'm confused by this suggestion of his as it pertains to him going to a conference. Granted, I'm not very good with feelings, but it seems bizarre to me that his attendance at this conference evokes such sensitive feelings that they must be deferred to. You'd think he was talking about attending a parent's funeral or something else deeply personal, not a business engagement. I don't really get what feelings he has about the conference that you should have taken into account - especially that would then make it inappropriate for you to share yours. I think it's particularly ridiculous that you're supposed to anticipate and give care to your therapist's emotions about this conference in order to know you need to be silent about your own.
