My Therapist told me during a session that someone in his wife's family had died and he might need to cancel the next session. Turns out he didn't, it just worked out that way but I knew he was gone for a stretch of days. The next time I saw him, I did ask how it was, etc. And he was fine with that.
However, he then wanted to know if I had needed him and held back calling because I knew he was unavailable...and if knowing he was unavailable had any impact on how I was feeling. It was a good conversation, but it was unexpected for me.
