I think it's great you were able to talk freely with your therapist about it. And we've talked too, since his mom has been sick for a while. Perhaps when I see him, and see that he's not broken in a million pieces, I'll feel better able to speak freely about it. I really am pretty good about being open with him.
I think I'll call him Tuesday morning and remind him that if he doesn't feel up to it he can cancel. We've gone over this a few times too, that it's his responsibility to decide what he can and can't do. But the truth is that he's not good at recognizing his limitations, and he sometimes sees clients when perhaps he shouldn't. When he feels "off" to me, it just upsets me on a subliminal level, so my concern isn't totally altruistic. :) I vibrate like a tuning fork to other people's emotions, especially people I know well.
