That sounds so much like a conversation I had with my pdoc, about how when I left his office one time I felt he was mad at me, and I emailed him and he didn't reply, which 'confirmed' he was angry (in my mind, not in reality!)...anyway, I, too, brought it up with him, and he was wonderful as well. He did the same thing, the "What's wrong? Is there something else going on?" stuff - trying to get me to talk to him without pushing me too much. When I finally told him what was bothering me, we discussed it at length, and that whole 'transference' thing came up - I was certainly projecting on to him feelings I have about my own father. But his reaction to my bringing it up was completely unlike how my dad would have taken it. My doc was totally understanding and glad I mentioned it and apologetic and so forth. Isn't it wonderful?
Glad things went well.
