> Some imp of mischief led me to ask if I could call if I just wanted to (I guess because of all that talk about boundaries). I got a bit of amusement out of the flicker of fear in his eyes while he hesitated before saying yes. And laughed and told him that of course I wouldn't. And he laughed and said that he knew that, so he felt free to say yes. I mentioned the flicker of fear. :) To his credit, he didn't deny it.
That made me laugh so much! I'm on my own in the house but people outside are looking in...
It reminds me of the time I had a therapy break because I was having a baby. We planned a break of four weeks. I wrote the date in my diary and my therapist said, "Of course, you can phone and arrange to see me before then if you need to." And then he added, "Or if you want to." And I said, "Even if I just want to gaze at your pretty face?" No, I'm kidding; I didn't say it, but I really wanted to.
I'm glad you had a good session and that you didn't fight.
