My t winds down, but it wasn't always an easy wind-down. I had to ask for more time because I was aware that I needed more effort to "come back" after a difficult session. Like HazelGirl, my t gives several cues that we are wrapping up soon. She respects that I asked for 10 minutes to re-center before leaving and she will ask about week plans, the dogs, etc. (Asking about the dogs is also a way to gauge how present I am; if I can easily talk about them, I'm present, but if I can't figure out what to say, I'm still really disassociated). It was definitely something I had to ask for though.
