I get the feeling this has been discussed recently, so apologies if this is a duplicate thread.

Does anyone else become depressed following their sessions? Lately I have. I'll be having a pretty good week, my depression will have leveled off and I go into the session in good spirits.... and after it's over I'll walk back to my car feeling lonely and empty, and the feelings will snowball until I'm crushed under the weight of sadness for the rest of the night.

Part of it is my attraction to her and frustration that our time together is done for another week. But I also leave feeling that I've just looked through the book of my life for another hour and am distressed by what I've just read. I feel ashamed that I haven't been a better person and fear that my T secretly thinks I'm as inferior as I believe. But mostly I feel suddenly alone and unnecessary.
