This sigh to me was one of disappointment, as was his general countenance during our discussion of his vacation. How was I suspposed to react? Was I supposed to beg him to stay? We've been through all of that.
Several years of my therapy were spent with me trying to discern what he thought about me. It's odd, but I've moved on from that. He hasn't run out of the room, or terminated me yet, so he must find me tolerable. I suspect that sometimes he enjoys our sessions as I almost invariably make him laugh, which must be a nice break. Although, again, that is just conjecture.
Now, if *he* were concerned about what I thought of him, that would indeed be something I hadn't even thought of. Most likely, if he is concerned, it wouldn't be regarding what I thought of him personally, but rather would be a reflection of how my therapy was progressing, or how I had mastered the dynamics of our relationship. I don't know for sure though.
Something is up. Something is bothering him about my list and about my tolerance of him leaving.
We'll know wednesday I guess.
Seldom.
