I think of work in therapy as being something that is hard to do. Like talking about painful topics and exploring what you need to heal. Sharing what hurts despite being hurt again by the experience. Making yourself vulnerable--no easy feat. Trying to consider things in a different light despite having thought about them a certain way for decades. Wanting to move forward when it's less painful to sit still.

I feel like you know it when you have done hard work in session. You may feel kind of exhausted. But sometimes you may feel lighter too.

Sounds like a great discussion to have with your T.
