Maybe it is ok to just sit in session and not talk. What if you gave yourself permission to just 'be' with however you are when you walk into the therapy room?

It pains me to read how tough you are on yourself. How you are mad at your brain, you want to quit....all because you didn't feel like talking one session. Maybe you just needed a week of not talking? Maybe it isn't about 'talking, but about learning to be kind to yourself and attending to what *you* need, and not getting bogged down in expectations of what is 'supposed' to happen in therapy.

I remember a post of yours a while back about switching chairs with T. That post stuck in my head, and yesterday in my session T and I swapped chairs. It was quite powerful...and it had nothing to do with the words.

You inspired me, thank you. I hope you can find some compassion for yourself, and if not I'm sending some your way.
