I've had some major issues with that. I don't actually feel all that much (except anxious ) until after I leave. One week I started bawling literally as soon as his office door shut after I left. I don't know if this relates to you or anything, but for me the problem is the fact that I've controlled my emotions in front of people for so long that I've become unable to actually access and express most of my feelings unless I'm by myself. This could just be a part of my personality too of course. I just do better processing things by myself for a while and then talking it out instead of just talking it out as I'm working through it. This makes therapy a little bit more complicated for me because I don't get to talk through some of the problems that come up during the session until the next week because I didn't have access to them until the session was over. That sounds crazy, I know. I wish I had advice, but I'm just as clueless.

I would definitely take the emotions/problems that arise as you work through after sessions and talk about them at your next one with your T. That's what I do a lot of the time, and it helps things clear up a little bit. My T has recently started asking me towards the end of sessions if there is anything I would regret not telling him as soon as I walked out the door because I've become notorious for that recently. It helps a little bit even though sometimes I can't control what emotions decide to rear their ugly heads after my session is over and I'm alone. I completely relate to the fact that I wish I could fully deal with them during session where I can actually get support with them.
