this is just my experience....

early on in the process, i told my therapist some hard stuff ... but there was minimal emotions in the telling of that part of my story.

right now i am at a place where I feel we need to go over it again ... so that i CAN feel the emotions attached to those events. not feeling those emotions are holding me back for achieving the goal that have been set forth in my therapy. that's one of the first things I want to do when this new year starts because i will never be who I'm striving to be unless I let these feeling be expressed... no matter how scary and no matter how painful. they will not kill me and i don't have to deal with them alone. my therapist will support me. she makes all the difference in this instance.

what I do know is that there is other emotional stuff that i have worked through... actually let the suppressed emotions out ... and it was not fun, but on the other side of it, i actually felt some peace about the situation that I had never felt before.

hope that made sense ... and if so... hope it helped in some way.

one question tho - if you're going to take klonopin, why go to your session at all? how will that help you learn and move forward?
