But dang, yeah I could talk right now. But who knows what next Monday will bring. I talked about how I couldn't control what mood I was in, and then he talked about how moods come out of something else, etc. etc. And I did figure out why I was in such a bad mood. Or maybe the connection isn't there I don't know. They're probably related though.

Damn damn damn. Wish I could go to therapy about every 3 days. I'm so in the mood to get back in. Wonder what next Monday will bring though.

Sidony, I try to make really good use of all my therapy sessions. Each minute is precious to me. I am working hard towards a goal and don't want to waste a single session. We cover so much in each of our sessions. My T says my progress has been "meteoric." I think I was just really motivated to deal with stuff and not willing to attend therapy and not move forward. So I think it is possible to be in the "mood" for therapy and share the stuff you had wanted to 3 days before the session. I keep track in my journal of what I want the next session to deal with, so I don't forget. Sometimes it will be the day before the session and I'm still not sure what I want I want to deal with at the session, but it usually comes to me. I just let the most important thing my psyche is dealing with rise to the top, and then go with that. Recently, my T asked me if would be helpful to make a list of what all I had to do before I could accomplish my goal. So I made a list (for myself--I didn't share it with T). It had some nuts and bolts things on it that didn't involve therapy at all, that I could work on with others or just by myself. It also contained a rather long list of stuff I wanted to cover in therapy before accomplishing the goal. So if I ever am at a loss for what to do in therapy, I just return to my master list. That's one reason I now want 2 sessions a week--to get through "the list" more quickly. I think paying my T's high fee out of pocket is another motivator for me to move quickly. Therapy is really a drain on my bank account. Insurance won't pay and T has no sliding scale.
