I'll reply to some specific posts in a bit, but just wanted to share that my session with Dr. T today involved a really good discussion of the conflict that happened between us. It feels from my end like we both really listened to what the other had to say and were very respectful of each other. There were a few difficult things that I wanted to share, but I was worried about how he would take them (and I admitted that I knew one of them was selfish). And he encouraged me to share them and handled them well. Might post in In Session Today, we'll see.

And in a way to let me know that he is in the office that day without me feeling like I need to text, he asked, "Can't you just look for my car in the lot?" Me: "But I don't know which car is yours? You said you drive a Prius, but it's a big lot, and about half of the cars in our county are Priuses, so...." He then told me his wife had actually claimed the Prius from him, so he's driving their old RAV4 SUV in a fairly unusual color* and said where he usually parks in the lot. Me: "I didn't think you'd be comfortable telling me that?" Dr. T: "I was giving it a moment, and it tastes OK to me." (Meaning it feels OK.) Me: "I'm not going to be looking for your car in random parking lots or anything." Dr. T: "I know."

*He told me what it was, just not mentioning on the crazy chance someone lives in this area and knows him.
