Bad session...

Due to various circumstances going on with T (he was sick and then his power was out in his office from the hurricane), it's been around a month since I've seen him.

I saw him earlier today, and things felt so awkward and cold between us. Our session was about 30 minutes shorter than usual as well, and I felt like he brushed me off. Usually he sits next to me on the couch, and at the end he'll walk me out of his office and give me a hug. Today he sat across the room at his desk, and after the session ended, he didn't give me a hug either. Also, he was hinting at moving sessions to every other week. Before, we'd just kind of hang out for a while afterwards and talk about non-therapy-related stuff (I'm usually the last person he sees). Today it was just like "Alright, see you around."

I just missed feeling close to him, and I felt really upset over it on the ride home. I felt kind of pushed away, and it sucked.

I see it as it is - his job, his career. I understand that many of you have therapists that are more professional/neutral and wouldn't engage in some of the same actions or discussions I mention here. At the same time, I felt like we were really close, and it's like the rug was ripped from right under my feet. It's going to be another two weeks until I see him again, and potentially more depending on my work schedule. I think I just feel kind of empty, discarded.

30 mins shorter? (How long are your normal sessions?) What was the reason behind it? Did you know it in advance?
I think that going once every two weeks is him minding your best interest and not his work = he gets paid less but he thinks you could benefit from it (i.e. don't need therapy that often)- at least that's how I see it when a T offers less sessions (doing so on the first session after long break= bad timing). Though I think ideally it should be the client bringing this up.
Once I didn't see T for over 3 months (my vacation) and it took us some time to patch things up. Long breaks are not good for a C/T RS. Give it a time.

wow. I am so sorry that happened! uggg!

Kind of sounds like something was going on with him totally unrelated to you and it spilled over into your session. Can you perhaps accept that his behavior may not have been about you at all? Sounds like he's had several very stressful weeks. Even T's cave sometimes to the stresses in their lives. Why not discuss this with him next time you go in rather than immediately personalizing it? Until you talk to him directly about it, all else is just supposition.
