Absolutely.

Actually, he surprised me one night. While I was sitting there, he made a call to a client.

or go to the restroom or something... He should have said so with words. That would be the adult, professional, thing to do.

Exactly.

I plan to, and I plan to tell him how rude, disrespectful, childish and arrogant it was. He knows me, and knows I speak up when not happy with something he has said or done.

Not that it excuses dropping your coat to the floor of course.

I cannot believe he would do that to anyone else!
Or the remark about being a gentleman. Which is also a bit odd really.

I thought it odd, also.

My therapist is, I'm sure, a gentleman. But he doesn't feel the need to help me gather my things as I left, and I can't imagine him helping me on with my coat.

He helps me off with the coat and on, when we leave.

So do I. Sometimes I don't bring it up right away; I need time to process it, etc....but he hears about it eventually!

Hugs, Sassy
