The session was good, I don't want to get into it all but we ironed out what had happened and I felt good about it. There was one thing I'd quite like some (kind) feedback on:
At the end of the session I got some money together and handed it to him. I said, this is for today and the Skype session on Friday.
T: (whilst holding the money as if his hand was frozen in the position he took it) We hadn't agreed you would pay for that?
Me: wasn't it a session?
T: It started out as a conversation to see if you wanted to come back. You paying for sessions when I've said something that has hurt you is a tricky area. I don't mind you paying me or not paying me, but it warrants some attention.
Me: And here we are at the end of the session with no time to talk about it.
T: Sorry I knew I should have brought it up earlier.
We both looked at each other a bit like neither of us knew what to do next. Him still holding the money in the same position.
Me: How about I take the money back for now, and we can discuss it properly next week?
T: Yes that sounds like a good idea (hands me the money back).
So I genuinely don't know what I want to do or say about it next session. Any thoughts?
