Right, I know, I am angry at myself. It was an outside thing regarding my D for which I was seeking support/guidance, nothing about the therapeutic relationship, to clarify. She has an important meeting about accommodations at school, and they suddenly threw a new suggestion at us this afternoon that would include a reduction in her services. So this was about that. I know, i don't need to explain myself. But just clarifying that it wasn't a sort of "is the therapeutic relationship OK?" email. But "Hey, I should push back against this recommendation, right?" As he has a bit of experience with these sorts of meetings in the school system.

But yes, I know, I did this to myself. I suppose I thought it would be OK, due to the subject matter (and it might have been!), then beat myself up over it.
