Maybe you need to start with that. What are you avoiding by not thinking? Are you angry or afraid of something that you know you could be working on, so you are claiming you don't have anything to say to avoid it? Why don't you want to be in session? etc.
You admit you have much to work on. So, why are you afraid to look at those topics? Something to think about.

That's good farmergirl. I think you hit the nail on the head! This is basically what my therapist has been telling me. She thinks I am shutting down because there is something I can't (or won't) talk about. She keeps telling me to 'dig deeper' to see where the feelings are coming from.
Wow! This sure opened up a flood of tears. Maybe I need to work on figuring out what I am angry about or what is so painful for me to talk about. Thanks, farmergirl!
