Peaches, I know what you mean. I hated when my T and were not connecting, and I had to sit and listen to her talk about something that I thought was totally irrelevant! It's so frustrating, but they mean well.

It seems like more often than not, a super-connected, deep session is followed by a lighter session. Maybe it's something T does to keep us on an even keel...with the thought that if we dive too deep too often, our coping skills might not be able to keep up

My T did tell me that after an intense, close session I should not expect that the next one would be like that. I'm not sure if it's because SHE would make it that way, or if it would be a protective device on my part, but it seemed to work out that way, much to my disappointment. Maybe we just can't keep up that intensity, two weeks in succession, like you suggested.
Peaches, I agree that it is especially frustrating after a session like that to find out your T won't be available next week. Do you mean you won't have a session at all, or that you just can't contact her until your session? Didn't you discuss the letter from your ex-friend at your last session, the one that was intense and you cried? Or didn't you get to it then?
