As therapy progresses you learn how to deal with it. It takes awhile and the process is not easy to go through, but like others have said, it does get better. I find myself constantly looking at my watch. Making sure I have time to finish something, and checking to make sure that if I want to bring something else up, I will have ample time to talk about it. I also like to be the one to end the session. Like someone else said, it makes me feel more in control.

My sessions are normally 90 minutes now. That helps a lot. Knowing I can email her that day if I need to, helps a lot as well. She does respond to everything I write as long as I tell her I need her to. Sometimes I think there needs to be a transition room for us to go into before we actually leave the office! I think having a nice massage before I leave the office would help me settle back down.

It almost feels like you are walking away naked and trying to scramble to put your clothes back on. The problem is that you cannot find your clothes! Not all sessions end in such emotional turmoil. I am getting better at realizing my sessions can be pleasant, they don't always have to take me to places that cause me to cry and be so emotional.
