Can you tell him that and ask for his help? Just kind of lay it at his feet? With no judgments or interpretations. As a therapist, this should be right up his alley. Sometimes when I have laid an issue at my T's feet, he seems really, really pleased. Like, "great, she is making use of my training and skills and talents and experience! I can be useful here! I can help!" I think this approach connects with the man who went to school to be a therapist, the man who wanted to help people heal and who has spent a lot of time and effort learning how and doing so. I think it really helps center him and "be" his role more deeply. And it shows my openness to what he can offer and my faith that he will have something to offer. This inspires him to try his best for me.

Good luck tomorrow, MissC. I am glad you are going.
