What do - I - do when therapy stalls?

That depends on why it is in a "stall" sometimes I keep therapy at a standstill on certain issues for many reasons for example this plan of mine to use relaxation visualizations (hypnosis) to work on my nightmares. Having 19 different therapists I know saying hey Im using hynosis - therapuetic Dissociation (co consciousness with relaxation visualization hypnotic techniques) to locate my repressed memories and Im going to do so with or with out you. So when SKR and I gave up therapy time together in favor of a friendship relationship I kept the issues related to this nightmare on hold for over a year while LL and I got to know each other and develop a trust in each other and so that She could get to know my therapy program at a pace that was comfortable for her. When I knew she was using relaxation visualizations during a depression management class that she was teaching and I was attending I used the time to learn to focus on following her voice and then when I was sure she was ready and I was also ready at the same time I disclosed that part of my therapy program to her and we started adding doing relaxation visualizations to our sessions Then we took it the next step by using the sand try while relaxing to that therapeutic dissociation (co consciousness level of thinking) and it worked. I took myself back into that area of co consciousness at my last session with her when we were at a local community center playing at the piano.

There are other times when my therapy has been stalled for example when SKR felt I was moving too fast she would use various techniques to slow down things and keep me at one place for a bit.

As for the times when it just happens well that doesn't happen because I don't give it a chance to happen I always carry things to my sessions - journal entry, drawings, art projects, charts or workbooks that I am working on. If I get in the room and things feel like they are going nowhere I open my backpack.
