How is it more helpful to be in that room with T, than to do the same activities at home? Or why not wait to schedule a session until you have decided on what you want to talk about? Obviously, there is a reason you find it helpful or you would not continue to go-- I just have not understood what it is yet. And you certainly are not obligated to make me understand-- I'm just curious.

sometimes it is very helpful to have a place where you can just be your self what ever how ever that is. A place where its ok to let your hair down so to speak, a place where you can cry, laugh, be what ever how ever you are at that moment.
There are many ways to get that time and place to let down your guard, just be in the present moment with yourself and your surroundings...... some people in my culture go on vision quests, some people in my neighborhood leave the city and go upstate, some people take a yoga class,exercise class, go camping.......some people I know even have that kind of space and time with in their own minds.
for me as a dissociative it is very helpful and healing for me to know and have that time and space where I know I can just be. A place where I dont have to word my thoughts perfectly, ...there are many reasons why I go to therapy even though I may not know what I want to do with my time there.
