I'm an expert at sidestepping. I have lifelong experience. Usually people do not notice (or do they?). Of course, in session I knew I was consciously avoiding, T knew it, I knew T knew it, T knew I knew T knew it. In the past, though, I would not come back and would just continue my movement away from tough issues. Sometimes T would let me get away with it and sometimes she would not. But there's no point in therapy if the issues aren't addressed. Still, sometimes things have to wait until the time is right. I know today we'll be entering some really really scary territory and I'm going to try my darndest to stay with it.
