Hi UmightKnowMe,

The methodical approach has often helped me in other areas of my life but it hasn't seemed to work well in therapy. I could enter a session with specific issues wanting to address, and lo and behold we are well on our way down another path. Sometimes my mind feels like an archaeological dig. While exploring one area, other areas are uncovered with their surprises.

I've had many sessions where I have trouble sticking with the topic. I've brought in lists of things to go over and even with those at times I leave the session and later realize I didn't cover some things on my list.

I hope you find a system that works for you.

Calm
