Facial hair status: clean shaven Consecutive visits with S: 3 (and no attempts to get out. He's now seen him more than all of last year in total time and number of visits).
I should say this is the first time he and I have had a talk in 3 years that didn't include any back and forth jabs. I did discuss a few boundaries/prior requests (responding when I send him things, looking me in the eye, etc.) and he took them very well. Even though he knew I was going to have a tough talk with S, he responded immediately and showed up. He would not have been able to do this previously.
