Dr. T seemed a bit off in today's session. Like he was tired or distracted or maybe both. Possibly not feeling that great? I hope he's OK.

But the takeaway for me with this is: I'm not assuming it's about me. I had scheduled the extra session Thursday last week, then canceled Friday (he let me have a few extra hours to decide). So I still saw him the regular number of times, just one was a day earlier than usual. I could see him being a little annoyed that I changed the one session. But he said he was fine with it, and I'm taking him at his word.

I'm just thinking how a year ago, maybe even 6 months ago, I'd have assumed that his acting a bit differently was about me. Whether being annoyed that I'd changed session days or maybe acting weird because we'd addressed more of the "love stuff" last week. But I really don't think it's about either of those things. In the past, I also might have emailed about it to make sure, but I don't feel some need to do that. Or even to be like, "You seemed off today--I hope you're OK." I know we all have off days--particularly on Mondays! Though if he still seems off Wednesday, I might consider saying something.

Of course, I just had the thought of, now the one time I assume it's *not* about me, it will turn out that he actually is annoyed with me! Like about something I hadn't even considered. But I'll think of it as progress until proven otherwise.
