Ugh, I'm really sorry about your T's reaction. You're trying to be considerate and give him advanced notice. And I think he should make some exceptions regarding the 48-hour rule considering your job and what's going on in the country right now. And you tried telling him what you needed in terms of reassurance--it seems he's giving you the opposite?

This is not defending him at all, but I have to wonder if there's countertransference going on here, if he's actually really worried about you and reacting by sort of pushing you away?
Thanks for this!
