My T is defensive about his interior design. I know if I comment on it, I'll get a rise out of him. He likes ascetic clean-lined modern furniture. I told him, "It is as if you don't want anyone to get too comfortable." He didn't like it much, but he conceded the point.
Last session, when he opened the door, he seemed unusually preoccupied. I asked, "Is something wrong, or is it just me?" (A lot of things had gone wrong for me that week, so it could have been projection.) He said it wasn't just me, and that my perception was correct. He did want to know how I knew. I couldn't tell him. Maybe something about the tilt of his head when he opened the door, or the fact that we started a minute or two later than usual.
I didn't push for details about his crisis though. Figured it was none of my business.
