In reply to Family Emergency-Can We Ask?, posted by Rigby on February 26, 2004, at 17:07:04
I say definitely ask. Once my old T said something about having just come from the hospital, and I never asked about it and felt bad later. And then just a few weeks ago my current T called to move my appt because someone in her family had to have surgery. In the next session I asked her if it was OK to ask about her family member who had surgery. She said "Sure, thanks for asking." She gave me a quick summary, and it felt good to have made a connection like that.
Probably every T handles this differently, but I can't think it would be bad to ask.
