Hi Laura -
It's nice to see you posting again. And like Tamar said, I don't remember anything you talked about making me feel offended, so please stick around.
Like Dinah, I do tend to mention to my T at the moment "You seem to be elsewhere today," or "Are you mad at me?" ... when I sense she is not in the room with me (which is rare, I might add). At first it was hard to bring up these "moments", but it has always helped bring the conversation/therapy back to where I want it. Sometimes my T will even ask, "What can I do differently, what do you want me to do to help you?" I sometimes surprise myself at what comes out of my mouth!
Try being direct and see how he responds to you.
