I resolutely brought up my reluctance to bring up how badly I'm feeling today. He thought I might not want to disappoint him, but I'm positive it's that I'm just bored of talking about it. And maybe I'm afraid that he's bored too.
It became sort of a running joke through the session, so that made it a little better. He told me he hoped I wouldn't be too bored when he asked the (what I call) CYA questions, and assured me that they weren't *just* CYA to him.
He wants me to call him when I'm feeling the urge to call him, even if I don't think it will help. I'm not sure I will, though.
And he mentioned that he was never sure what kept people who had longstanding suicidal ideation on one side of the line of acting out, and what pushed them to the other. So I mused a bit on what I think kept me from acting on the urges, and when I was in most danger of acting on them. I don't think I'd ever been quite as clear in my thoughts on the subject, and he said with a smile that he'd have to remember what I said. He won't of course. :)
Overall, I think I'd have rather had a fun session, but it wasn't as dull as it would have been if he hadn't kept a sense of humor.
