I can certainly understand feeling overwhelmed by the idea of facing another tough session. My T mentioned to me a couple of times how whenever we touched on something really painful for me, I "ran for the hills". I didn't cancel my sessions, but I redirected my focus onto something else, shut down, etc.

I'd imagine it's quite common for those who are in therapy to find ways to run when they're faced with scary, painful stuff.

There's gotta be some kind of balance between knowing what you can handle, knowing when a break is healthy and needed, and running from problems. I just haven't been able to figure it out yet.
