OMG this is SO me in therapy! Many times I'll go in and start off saying how I have so much to say and don't know how to prioritize it, and then get mad when time runs out. I told T Friday that if I could I'd stay in his office 8 hrs a day, 5 days a week. LOL

What T keeps telling me is that I have to learn patience with myself and the process, and that everything will be covered in due time. Yes, there are still things about my past and childhood T doesn't know that I want to talk about, but then there are "hot" issues of what's been going on in my daily life that I don't really want to talk about but need to so I can heal.

What I've learned to do is what T keeps telling me to do - "Trust the Process". I just talk about whatever is on the tip of my tongue at that moment and let the hour flow wherever. Oftentimes I find that those result in my most productive sessions. Sometimes, like Friday, I just started rambling about work and a coworker, nothing really major, just some griping like I would tell a friend. Next thing I know, T is pointing out the connection between that and my past and we got into some really deep stuff. It took me by surprise because the issue with the coworker wasn't "that" big of a deal, just normal griping.

So, my suggestion is to trust that you'll have as much time with T as you need going forward (i.e., once a week for however long you need) and relax during each session and not worry about trying to cover it all. Just talk about what's most pressing. Everything else will come up in time...
