Hi Klokka,
I think seeing your pdoc for the first time after a five week gap would be tough on anyone. I think you're being way too hard on yourself.
If something is hard to talk about with my therapist I look away or cover my face with a pillow. Maybe that you couldn't keep eye contact was a defense mechanism and your pdoc would have known this even if he didn't say it outloud.
Trust is hard to maintain especially after weeks of not seeing your therapist. It might take time to rebuild it, hopefully your pdoc will realize that, too.
If you are comfortable calling your pdoc, I would call and remind him to have the copy of his post about you on Friday. It might have just slipped his mind.
Take care of yourself and try not to worry too much about Friday's possible session. I know, easy for me to say, especially because I plan ahead what I want to talk about in therapy.
