You'd think I'd have learned my lesson not to bring up certain things at the end of a session, particularly on a Friday. But apparently not...
I really don't see how it's so weird that I wish Dr. T would be open to my sending a brief email letting him know how H's surgery goes Tuesday. I mean, he clarified that he's open in the sense that I'm allowed to email and haven't emailed him much at all lately (it's been weeks, probably months, not counting a scheduling thing, which he doesn't count either). But he implied that it was inappropriate that I wanted that from a therapist (without using that word). Even though he acknowledged we've been talking about it for weeks and he knows I'm stressed about it (it's a hernia surgery, so not like open heart surgery or something).
But I guess that's too friend-like. Even though he's been sharing personal stuff/disclosing all over the place lately and has seemed more relaxed about stuff in general. Sigh.
