I like your phrase "temperature in the room," it describes the atmosphere so well yet keeps the tone objective.
I actually did bring this up once -- I called after a session because I was so upset at the way things had changed from one week to the next. He acknowledged it and told me he steps back at times in order to regain perspective. Knowing this does not make it feel any less personal when it happens. I feel so rejected.
It helps to know that you have had to address something similar with your therapist and that he responded when you brought it up. I'm not so sure mine would. I think this is something he needs to do. Whether I can handle it or not is what I have to figure out, I suppose.
Thanks Dinah for your reply.
