Yes, but those thoughts didn't occur in session, but when I was at home writing that. I know some people come to their emotions instantaneously when something happens, but in general I am not one of those people. I think I have improved at that since beginning therapy, though. This only illustrates I have additional work to do. My general feelings after the session was that it was a good session and I gained a lot from it. My overall feelings were positive. This is just one small part of the session so it could be I have made it have more importance than it really does by posting about it here. (There's a strange interplay between the reality of a session and what comes out in posts. ) In any case, ECHOES, I think it's great you know immediately if you are angry! I admire that and am reminded it is an area I still need to work on. You said you would have had a hard time keeping your composure in session if that had happened to you. What does that mean (how would it look for you to not be composed if angry)?

It's really interesting the discussion comes here to this, as I had a very interesting discussion with T about anger in my session. We went back to a discussion we had about anger in our first few months of therapy. So I still have questions about it, and he was very patient with me in answering and I did learn some new things about that discussion we had ages ago that I had not "gotten" back then.
