I hope you are talking to your therapist about your feelings after/between sessions.

Thanks for putting it to me like you have. The analogy is great. You are more than likely right about it being "baggage" that needs to be dealt with which is why it comes out like this. To date I have not told my therapist about what is happening. Usually its just feeling a bit down and out but this week it unleashed rivers of tears and horrible feelings of hopelessness and grief.
Thanks for your reply
