What is all these flopping around emotions? Dang. Last week I suggested to T that I might be finished and now I'm a bit concerned about the month off she's taking in November. What gives?

So, I'm going to try to distance myself emotionally from T. I'll consider it a emotional 'holiday'. I have to start now since I'll need to be very practiced by November and it must last until December.

So, has anyone ever tried and succeeded creating a temporary emotional detachment from T?

And to do that I think I'll have to be sure that no emotions show up in session this month. I'll have to look for some professional psychology journals or something like that to discuss with her. I will use the month of October to gain pure knowledge about the stuff of the mind. I can bring in case studies and we can dissect them and form useful conclusions. I will use the next 4 sessions simply as book study and then we'll re-introduce lab work in December.

I think it's a great plan, don't you?

Help me learn how to turn those pesky emotions off quickly, please.
