Today I'm going to try to go in 'blank', clear my mind beforehand and let emerge what emerges. I doubt we'll get to the most important issues this way but, hey, why not experiment, right?

skyblue let us know how today goes.
Try clearing you mind after you go into the room. If you want to add to the experiment.
My T encouraged me to sit and focus on my breath if I needed time before we start, he said his other clients do this and tell him he can go work on his computer.
When I let him know when I am ready to start and he then moved from from behind his desk to his usual chair.
And I thought therapy was some kind of race.
