Oh, I forgot to mention that it was hindering my productivity and happiness. My brain never had a chance to rest. I would process for a few days after sessions and then it was time to think about what I would discuss the next session in a few days. So, now I have several days where I don't think about it. An interesting thing happened. I used to want to read, research, write and so forth. I don't have that pull anymore. It's more healthy of just having realizations as life happens instead of me doing so much extra work. I'll never admit this to T. though. LOL
