ECHOES, sounds like a really good and connected session. So glad it went well for you after the big walk-out last time.

It's so hard to stay there and work through things, isn't it? It's so much easier to run away and not work it out. I think this is part of why the strong and close relationship with the therapist is so essential. That makes it so you can't run away, can't ditch them, you feel like you owe them more, owe them an explanation and an effort to mend things between you. It's like the relationship itself motivates clients to do things they normally might not.
