As my T shares several things about herself it´s inevitable to take part of how she feels (or more exactly come to think about how she feels, she doesn´t tell me if she´s tired or such), what she has experienced during the day and similar. I don´t feel it disturbs therapy but after some sessions I sometimes wonder things like "why did she seem tired today" or "what has happened during her day". I think a T who is more of a blank slate doesn´t create that kind of feelings within their clients.

Do you engage in T:s mood, what has happened to him/her during the day? Do you ask about it? Does your T tell you what has happened or how he or she felt?

Not really. We talked about what was going on in his life; it was normal for us to chit-chat a bit. But I never really gave much thought to his mood; he was generally on a pretty even keel from what he showed in session. His mood was his business; I never gave it much thought. The only times I was really aware of his energy level or mood changing was when I already knew he wasn't feeling well (bad back, colds, etc.), but again, I didn't give it much thought.

I find myself doing that lately... She said last time that she's revisiting working on Saturday (that's when i go) but that we'll play it by ear for now. But now i want to reschedule because I'm like, i don't want her sitting there not fully present because she's wishing she was somewhere else. Need to tell her that. Don't think she would do that, but i don't want to be thinking it either. So i think, best we change days now instead of later. She did say she wished she hadn't said that but its too late she did.

No. I simply don't care.
