> I feel awful, terrible, like the worst ever therapy-client. Let's summarize: he's not allowed to get sick, he has become threatening and he must work on Christmas Eve. I wouldn't be surprised if he decides I'm too much to deal with completely.
I understand that you feel that way. But he's told you he thinks your reactions are understandable and in no way awful or terrible. He wants to see you on Christmas eve because he wants to help you feel like he'll be there for you. Don't try to second guess what's good for him. It's his job to take care of himself. Altogether it sounds like the farthest thing from thinking you're too much to deal with.

If you don't feel comfortable calling him at home you can always call him during working hours tomorrow. What do you think you need to ask for or tell him? Any clues?
