It didn't offend me, Susan.
I assume, perhaps incorrectly, that not a lot of clients directly discuss this with their therapists because it is *so* special, and we don't want to pick apart special moments.
That's always been true for me. I've always just cherished the moments and hoped for another one.
Until this thread, it never occurred to me to break it apart into it's smallest pieces and analyze it.
If my experience is true of others as well, it's possible that no one has ever talked to him about how it feels in therapy, and that therapy is the only place they feel it.
And because he's really uncommonly good at it, perhaps he experiences it left and right with everyone from friends to strangers on the bus.
He's not a mindreader. Like everyone else, he only knows his own experience until and unless someone tells him differently.
