Thanks to all that responded. It's been a real quandry for me, and I appreciate your input.
I just have the feeling that if he wanted to me to know about his father, he would have told me. He may yet, I don't know.
However, I did buy a card that I may give to him on my way out of the session tomorrow, just to express my condolences.
I've decided that my father issues can wait. I've carried them for years, a few more weeks won't matter.
I think what is at the heart of the issue here is that, after all these years, I think I owe him a few sessions in deference to his father's death.
Yes, he is my doctor, yes he has been trained for this, but he is a human being and outside of the doctor/patient relationship, I care about him. Life does intrude on therapy sometimes.
Good lord knows I have enough to talk about.
