I rarely talk about my normal life in therapy but when emotions are difficult in session it does spill over. On the other hand as Hazel said I wouldn't be in therapy if I didn't want to life to change in some way. Pay off I have noticed do not relate directly to stuff talked about but I now have more friends and a better job. T and I both notice I don't do well trying to resume real life after a session so I see her pretty late in the evening.
