I never know what to expect after a session. I've had to start scheduling so I don't have to go back to work afterward because I can't go back acting like a zombie.

And thanks for the Stuart Smalley quote. I accidentally brought that up with T one day. T wanted to talk about working on self-esteem and I started laughing in my head and then I blurted out "I'm sorry, but all I can think about is the Stewart Smalley skit from SNL." I was laughing. I hope she wasn't offended. That's just how my mind works sometimes - in TV and movie quotes.
Thanks Sconnie- I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels like "soaring and crashing"- that's a great way to describe it. That's awful she pushed you after you shared too . I know, it's supposed to be a good thing, right? But it sure feels awful when it happens. I wonder if that yo-yo dynamic lessens or gets any easier after time
