Honestly, it sounds like you're doing a very good job if you're able to plan and lead sessions like that. I would think that you would do the best job figuring out for yourself what to prioritize each therapy session...because you know yourself best! Even better than the therapist does.

What I have learned from therapy and the work of healing, is that often times when we want to find a specific problem and "fix it" there may be many things going on to cause our problems. For example, I go into therapy with a problem, and I work through that pretty well, but I am still struggling with depression. It could be meds/biological things, but there may be something else underneath....another layer to uncover in my healing. so now I am going deeper, and looking into my childhood family and relationships growing up and working on healing some of those dysfunctional issues.

Maybe there will always be things to uncover. We are complex beings. not robots. So therapy and healing isn't always as easy as fix "a" and I am done. There will always be more work to be done.
Thanks for this!
