I have used this exact process in between sessions when something needs to be addressed that is too emotionally "heavy" for me to carry around in my head all week. It works really well -gets it out of my mind - and I don't fret and worry about it. I literally write it down on a piece of paper and put it in my purse in the zipper compartment and zip it closed. Don't know why it works but it does.
