> I wonder if he'd be willing to talk to me about what it's like to be a therapist in private practice. Maybe I wouldn't feel so... hurt if I understood the pressures he was under.
I presumed to ask, and I know his thinking on the topic better. I'm glad he felt it was in my therapeutic best interests to share. He reiterated all the time that it wasn't anything to do with not enjoying seeing clients in general or me in particular, and stressed that if it did happen, while I might need to be more flexible, he'd still want to see some private clients and I'd be at the top of his list.
I'm glad I asked. Nothing's changed of course, and he maybe didn't even tell me anything I didn't know. But it quieted the "what if.." gremlins a bit.
