I agree with Daisy completely.
But also, wasn't his leave of absence enforced? Perhaps the clinic said that he really couldn't see clients during this time period, or talk to them, even if he didn't want to abandon them? He might have brought the idea to them and had it rejected. If so, he might have been reluctant or embarassed to discuss this with clients.
I don't know. I saw my therapist for a while when he wasn't at his best, and even so I can't say what's the best thing to do. I think that seeing him off his pedestal did help in some ways. It changed the relationship in ways that might have been very good for me, but that didn't necessarily feel so good.
