I could have written what you said myself. Like ThisWayOut said, I don't have any useful tips, but I can relate. I'm in the thick of it now. After almost two years of therapy, it's like a ****storm of emotions was released about a month and a half ago and it's led to so much frustration with both myself and my T. Because like you said, I can't feel or really discuss anything that I feel so strongly during the week actually
in the session because it feels ridiculous once I'm sitting in front of my T. And unless I'm over-the-top anxious or exasperated with something, I don't think he picks up that something is eating away at me and seems genuinely surprised when I mention that something has been bothering me. He's not a mind reader, so I guess I should expect that
My T is really good about jumping in with things that are glaring problems, especially if I've emailed him about it, so I'll give him that. I'm sorry that your T isn't catching the hint (or many hints, for that matter) that this topic is really bothering you. I know it's really hard, but maybe just take a deep breath and jump straight into mentioning it yourself at the very beginning? Tell her it's hard for you to discuss but you really, really need to. She should be okay with taking however long it takes to get it out, whether it's in one session or a couple--It's kind of her job
Good luck! I hope things go better next week. It's hard to be patient though--I know.
