I feel like I work hard at therapy. Between sessions, I do a lot of "work." I think about the sessions, process what happened there, write in my journal, come to new insights, have dreams that tell me more, experience emotions surrounding certain events that I haven't before, etc. This lets me move forward (even though it may not be obvious that I am), and I feel that at my next session I can start the process all over again both with whatever growth (or the opposite) I have experienced since the last session and with whatever happens between me and T, face to face.

However..... what happens when you haven't done this sort of work between sessions? Should you go to your next session anyway if you haven't worked at it between times? What would happen if you went under such circumstances--would you just present yourself and say I haven't done/thought about a f**king thing? Or should you put off the session until the following week until you have done some "work"?
