When someone tells you not to think of the elephant, what do you think of? The elephant.

I had a good session with T this week and at the end T said to me that they would like me to try not to think about what we had talked about. T wants me to focus on life outside of this traumatic topic, box it up and let T look after it. Yes I want that! Life is enough at this moment, but how do I not think about it?

When you don't want to think about things what do you do?
