It helps me pass the time between our sessions, and it also helps me to process my emotions...
Sometimes I wonder if therapy is a good thing or not. We are supposed to form this trusting bond with someone, and yet we are limited with our access to them. It is complicated and makes us feel very weak and vulnerable at times. I totally understand how you feel....

Thank you Squiggle328
I journal as well, which does help me realize that I have more than one or two things on my mind. I also tend to be free with my thoughts ~ and don't censor my words. I then read my journal to the T, word for word. It can be embarassing for me at times, but being completely open with my T has allowed a healthy doctor/patient relationship to devlop.
Unfortunately, I am unable to e-mail my T. Or call. I suppose that I could call if it were an utter emergency, but when things are that bad I tend to avoid contact instead.
It is complicated to have a person in my life, who I am completely honest with. And so much stuff is happening ~ I wish that I could get these things off my back sooner. Maybe I need to devote more time to writing in my journal. This year's journal is much smaller than last year, which makes my posts less often and not as expressive. I'll have to work on that...
Thank you! Best wishes to you as well
