While I do come here on PC because it has become an addictive habit, I don't start threads often. I don't really spend much time thinking about my own therapy really. I don't read books about therapy; never have. I think you can get bogged down in that. When I first received my bipolar diagnosis I did do a great deal of reading about that, but I haven't done that in a few years now.

I talk to my T about my real life and talk to him about a great deal more than I discuss here on PC. We spend little to no time discussing therapy during therapy. That would actually feel off-topic to me somehow. My T is very attuned to how I am doing from session to session and we work on real-time issues most of the time.
