I have the uncommon experience of doing therapy from home, which I love, mostly, but I've learned it makes it harder to compartmentalize the sessions and I am often crying, upset, unsettled at the end of our time together. This is blessing and bane, I don't have to turn off the feelings or stop processing the work, but conversely, I can feel overwhelmed and have an almost impossible time focusing on things which need to be done, as I also work from home.

It's a work in progress to transition gracefully, and we've recently begun exploring DBT techniques to help me deal with overwhelming emotion, so I think that will help. I've also started using distraction techniques which seem great, while in past post-session periods, I've just given myself some time to cry, but suffered from the feeling that my therapist is great at opening me up, but not helping me close down. I do believe not having to drive somewhere or pull myself together leaving a physical therapy office makes this harder, so am really looking forward to DBT.
