As a person (like a friend), I would respond to this and be touched that you noticed, especially if it were true that I was preoccupied with something else. I think Dr. T might feel intruded upon, but that's sort of his avoidant-dismissive attachment style jam. I do wonder if maybe this will bring things up about your discomfort with uncertainty and/or your need to care for others (which is not a bad thing!). It seems like there is a lot here, and I hope it doesn't become a whole thing that is primarily about his feelings rather than yours.
