I'm sorry you had a rough session. I've had janitors try to barge in on my evening sessions and put me straight into a flashback as a result. I agree that it seems a bit of a contradiction to avoid having photos, but openly engage with his wife near the office. I guess, maybe it's because it wasn't the plan for anyone to know she was his wife? Still, I can understand why this is a dilemma for you, how painful and scary it could be. My T does have one photo in the office I go to on Fridays, and a frame with a few overlapping photos in the Monday office. One of the photos has a much younger him in it, so I assume it's him and his wife or him and his family, but I really haven't been close enough to tell, and it's really small. The other is a full face shot of someone. But, because both his offices are shared with other Ts on different days, I really have no idea if all of the photos are even of him/his family. Sending lots of hugs your way.
