Sometimes. My T's were not ones to push me into going over and over something if I was not in the place to process something.

The other side of the coin is that there can come a point for me where I can start ruminating and get very stuck; continuing to "process" in that circumstance does NOT help me stop ruminating -- it compounds the problem. It creates anxiety, depression, can affect my sleep and throw me into a bipolar episode. So in that circumstance, my T will work on getting me to move my mind elsewhere, at least until the problem with rumination has let up. He'll at least curtail the "processing" until I am in a healthier mindspace -- and sometimes I find just by getting past the rumination, I realize I don't need to do any further processing; it resolves on its own with needed further processing -- so in essence, he was very much correct in getting me to stop processing.
