I think I must be very odd in that the flat voice comment was actually reassuring to me.
He totally took ownership of the sleepiness today. He said if a therapist was as sleepy with him as he was with me he wouldn't come back. And that it is totally his issue and not my responsibility to change my presentation to keep him awake. He told me how hard he tried to stay awake, I told him I was aware of that, but it just made it even worse.
Today he took several B-12 chews as we started, made sure to fill up on coffee, and actually managed to stay awake and alert.
He doesn't think he'd be any more likely to stay awake at his other office, and discouraged me from switching for that reason.
He was very nice, very caring, and yet somehow I don't feel a whole lot better.
