Yes. It is important to think about it. How does it affect your life today? What happened to make you the way you are today? Do you understand why you
do what you do today, because of the things that happened to you in the past?
It's painful, but is there a lesson to be learned?
Maybe I think it's easy, because, honestly, I have not told my T the nitty gritty. Maybe I don't tell him the really awful things, because I don't want to think of them. Maybe....I should, and then I will understand how you feel about the after session thoughts.
Maybe I'll go into session next time and say, Hey....I have some really awful things I have not told you.. Maybe not?
