This is hard when it happens, and feels so weird when we really can't identify why.
I still have times like this, even after 5 years. I suppose I do know too.
In the beginning when it happened, often as soon as I was free from the tension that can be there in therapy, when I was barely out of the parking lot, I could easily think about how I would have liked to have responded.
I used to become really distressed about this happening, but now I just try to remember and talk about it the next time. When we do talk about it the next time, often we can identify the place that was stopping my thinking, and what that is about.
Sometimes the only answer I had to "where are you right now" is not 'here'. More to know about that, when it happens. Why not here? Why not here right now? What happened to begin this?
So, not a waste of money or time at all, artemis-within. It's just another path to take to knowing more about you!
