If there is something I write that speaks directly to what I'm working on in therapy, I might bring it in for her to read. Sometimes it sets off a conversation, sometimes it just fills out her knowledge of me. Sometimes it's something I want to tell her but can't bring myself to do it. But a lot of it is just for me--I find that it can be a good way to take what happened in therapy and bring it all together, coalesce my feelings and thoughts into something clear. It's also a good way to vent stuff from therapy, and often I notice the subject has much less charge after I'm finished, like I've downloaded it and now I don't have to feel it so much anymore.
