It was one of those sessions in which he insists that we did work through some stuff, although I can't see that at all. I did not feel connected. It wasn't because we weren't on the same page... it was because I felt as though I couldn't focus on anything...

This happens to me too Pink. I will feel as though I'm jumping all over the place and not making sense. Maybe I'm trying to avoid something. What helps me is to make a list before hand of what I want to cover. I pull it out when I sit down and keep it next to me. It has helped me.

We did figure out that this unconscious resistance was coming from the idea that I wanted to protect myself... it was another Saturday session, beautiful day, feeling alright... I didn't want to 'ruin' my good day by talking about upsetting subject matter.

I think sometimes we just need a session or two to sort of re attach ourselves to our T's. Especially after some hard sessions. Maybe this is what you are unconsciously trying to do?

But all laughing aside, it was a very frustrating session, in which I feel as though I was making surface circles, and not going anywhere. He said, "It's okay to give yourself a break."

This is what I was trying to say above

I did make him laugh really, really hard. He asked me what type of pie I would make. I told him, "It has pears, berries, and a bunch of other crap." He goes, "
A bunch of other crap?" and then he just lost it. Laughing hysterically.

I love this exchange. He gets you!

He let the session go for 1 hr., 10 minutes. I feel like I wasted the extra time. I wonder why he let it go so long. I just wish that this extra long session felt more meaningful to me. I wish I felt connected.

I have the sense that your T really tries to meet your needs. Whether these needs are voiced by you or not, he knows them and tries to meet them. I think he wanted to give you some extra time to take the pressure off of the session ending.
