Will write more later, but we discussed it for a bit first, then I ended up playing him a song (I stared out the window while it played). It actually went pretty well. When they sang one line, he was like, "I bet that line has meaning to you," and I said yes. After it was over, he said was interesting song that reminded him of something (he's going to ask someone about it who he thinks will know what song he means). And we discussed a few parts of it. Then ended up in a discussion about art and self-expression in general. It was an interesting session. And actually did make me feel more connected to him (for better or worse...) despite his assorted warnings. Incidentally, I'm not the first client who has played music for him (some played their own songs), so I have to wonder if someone had a bad reaction to his reaction before? Of course, as I said to him, I'm going into it with such low expectations... I think I half-expected him to just shrug and be like, "OK, next topic!" But it felt like a good session, if a bit off the usual path. And I'd feel comfortable sharing more music with him in the future, too.
