Yes I find its only when I'm in the midst of free associating does a buried thought suddenly pop up and I realize that it makes no sense to my life now whatsoever, and I realize then that all I need to do is challenge the thought and it pops just like a soap sud, yet again its best done in the moment, writing negative thoughts down and trying to write their opposite doesn't work for me, I need to just be chatting with T and then when the suppressed thought pops up, so can it be resolved in the moment.
