Thanks, Velcro, that helps to hear. And it's so stupid, but he didn't use an exclamation point in confirming my session, as he normally would, so I'm worried he's annoyed. But I also suspect that based on the content of our session, he probably wasn't completely shocked by my request. I think it's like, sometimes in session I'm a mess (like crying), and other times I'm mostly OK, and today I was OK for most of it. So I feel he thinks I'm fine. When really...I'm not. But hopefully, at this point, over a year into seeing me, he realizes that sometimes I can appear one way but be another. (I mean, it's a survival mechanism. It's the end of session, what the hell am I supposed to do? He can't keep me any longer, as much as I may want that, since he actually generally adheres to his time boundaries, unlike ex-MC. So...all that's left is for me to act like I'm OK and leave.
