I am with you XTree I have a difficult time letting go of what happens in therapy. The first couple days are the worst and then it seems to fade a bit. Journaling does relieve some of the anxiety and stress, but silly me as my next session nears I get all nervous about what I want to share and the fact that I don't. I just don't get how one can totally let go of what is done in therapy and sometimes it scares me. My T has never talked to me about how to handle my emotions after an intense session. My T does start each session asking how I handled the week. We too are just beginning to scratch the surface of my problems. SOmetimes I feel as though we just get started with the deep stuff and it is time to go. Then I have to start all over again. I think that I need to talk with my T about how to handle the emotional roller coaster I go through each week. Thanks for bringing this up it brought to the forefront my own need to deal with this.
