Today we sat in silence for what must have been a few minutes. I’m not sure of the exact time, but definitely longer than one would typically do with a friend or acquaintance. I eventually said I didn’t want to bore him and he said it’s ok to have the space to go into my own mind, but that he doesn’t want me to go to a negative place or feel uncomfortable with the silence. I asked if it would be ok to go the whole session without talking and he said definitely yes, but he doesn’t think it would end up going that way. I don’t know that I’d really want to do that, but it’s nice that he was open to it.
