Hi Sunrise...

I like to think that like you I work between sessions to move forward and often assign myself "homework" or things just come up for me to work on...in relation to what has gone on or preparing how to present or if I should present in the next session.

I think though that sometimes life is present outside and that therapy is not always able to be on the front burner. I think that sometimes seeing what happens while there is important. Sometimes I am inspired when I get there or there are things that pdoc wishes to bring up.

I do not think that cancellation for lack of work or attention during the week is a good thing....as could there be something that you/I are avoiding or something that might happen within the session. Those sessions can be quite productive.

Perhaps you might see what your T would think but particularly now when you have so much going on and are actively percolating (my favorite word sometimes about therapy functioning) I would not cancel... and I would not regardless.

Also, I wonder about how people talk of being connected...that this sudden stop and go would not facilitate a connection...at this juncture.
