    He’s probably in clinical mode because he’s overwhelmed and feels he might not cope or be able to help otherwise

      That’s very likely. It’s common to retreat or default to (we all do it), but it needs to be pointed out to him.

        Yeah. Some of us are like that more than others because that’s where our strengths are, or if we break down then what help can we offer.

        Hopefully he’s able to handle the emotional side
