I feel that way sometimes too. Like at our last session, I knew all the stuff I had inside, and it was already lining up to be let out, the tears were starting to form, and I just didn't want to do it! It is early Monday morning, I have a really busy week ahead of me, and I don't want to start it off with opening the gates to my innards, letting the tears spill, becoming so vulnerable... I feel like I need to wrap myself up tight and not let anything out and steel myself for the next few days, and then T sits there looking at me so expectantly, and this is what I'm paying money for after all. It's hard sometimes. I think I need to avoid those Monday AM sessions.
