So, I think another component to my rejection/abandonment feelings is something that happened during session. He looked over in the direction of the fish I gave him (which I imagine won't make the cut to his new office) and said, "Ohhhhh noooo." He saw a client's glasses were on the floor. He picked them up, then took about a minute to text the client. So it was like another client was in the session. I understand he was concerned because it was someone's glasses, but we only had 20 minutes left--couldn't he have waited to text them? It just felt he was completely taken out of the session, and we were discussing something relatively important in the moment (stuff about ex-MC and ex-T).

Perhaps that combined with him closing the door of the waiting room made me feel like I was very much on the outside and not important. Certainly not "special."
