I suppose I need to acknowledge to myself that while I'm exquisitely and painfully aware of every ripple in his emotions in these sessions, it's entirely possible that I'm misinterpreting what he's feeling and even what he's saying.
I have always relied perhaps too much on what he calls my strong intuitive sense and my deep connection to the something or another around me (I forget. I think it included spirituality as well as environmental stuff), and what I call my semi-psychic abilities. I rely more on what I see with my eyes closed than I do on what I see with my eyes open.
The problem is that while that sense has always been very reliable, when the signals I'm getting are mixed, or if I don't do checks on what I'm sensing, I can easily misinterpret the motives or thoughts involved. The feelings don't lie. But the feelings can be caused by more than what I'm aware of.
With him being so blank slate, it's more likely than normal that I'll misinterpret the other data, because I can't check it with him directly or correlate it to a wider knowledge base.
