I agree with Echoes. I don't think there is something set that you have to do. And every week can be different. As every session can be different.
This are for me the things I usually do:
Most of the times T asks me some questions during a session where I don't find an answer for (if it is something that does not come immediately to my mind I feel very pressured when somebody is sitting there and waiting for my response). So I try to think about that question throughout the following days and take my time to find answers for them. Most of the time I send T then a mail with the answers I came up with or I write them down so I can decide later what I want to share with T about that.
I do write down lots of situations throughout the week that happen and how they make me feel and so when I return to T I can look through my list and see what is important to mention.
And whenever I discover something about me that I was not aware of before I try to look out for those things in daily life to be more aware of how I feel and how I react or if I can make a different choice in my reaction to that situation.
But I have noticed that although sometimes things we do in group don't seem much to have to do anything with daily life, it does make a difference. At some point one of my situations might return and to my surprise I see that I am thinking or behaving differently without having noticed that something in me has changed at all.
These moments are the ones that usually amaze me the most...
Sometimes I wonder if one of the most important things might not be just to trust in that T knows what he is doing and that things will get better, even though I might not see how that might happen. Just trust in that it will happen...
