I understand exactly how you feel, and it's an awful feeling. I felt like that for a long time at the beginning of my therapy.

For what it's worth, my personal experience is that finally, over time, things began to be contained in the room. It took a long time-- probably a year-and-a-half or more of twice weekly sessions. But now, almost 3 years in, I can have sessions that are emotionally very difficult, and then go out into the world (maybe still very upset, still crying), and within a half hour or less, sometimes almost instantly, those feelings settle down, and I go on with my day, my week. My T is precisely what I need: as absolutely consistent as possible. I'm sure that it's due to this that I've gotten to this point. And I always hope for everyone else on this board that they might be able to get to that place. But it did take me a long time, even with an extremely skilled T and frequent sessions.
