I think there can be different contributing factors. For me, just being in T's office feels calming and safe. So, that makes it possible that the feelings are not so prominent.

Secondly, I think there can be an instinct of self-protection. I find that I vacillate between wanting to 'feel' in session and not wanting that experience.

The reason I sometimes want to avoid the emotions in session is that it has gotten very intense for me and very difficult to manage. And then I feel like I'm being dumped out on the street right after session and left to my own devices to cope with the newly aroused state that I've gotten myself into. Who wants to experience that?
