That sounds like a really good use of therapy during a stressful time in one's life. I go through periods in therapy too where we just kind of kick back and don't do high pressure work. It's more like I go to get support. T is OK with this and follows my lead on what I need. I am glad you are going to talk to your T about it. It sounds like you need a breather from the tough work you've been doing in therapy. I hope you can take it easy in your therapy session and get some support. There have been a few times when I really needed shoring up and T referred to this once as doing ego work--him doing the work to shore up my ego so I don't collapse, I guess.
