I've often found therapy fun and enjoyable. Mostly these were sessions that we talked about ideas and just had a nice, intelligent conversation about something tertiary to my issues. Other times I've just been in a FANTASTIC mood, and T mirrors that mood right back at me.

In fact, I spent the last session before a three week break for the holidays just giggling my head off. If only I can remember what was so funny??

There have been other times that sessions were some of the most emotionally painful things I've ever done. It was painful. It was hard. It sucked.

everybody's experience is different--and you certainly don't have to worry one lick about what your T wishes to hear, or about being a "good client" You're not there to please or entertain T. I know what it's like, though, to wonder if you're doing therapy "right." There's not exactly a manual.

If therapy makes you consistently miserable 99% of the time--or consistently happy 99% of the time--it's probably worth talking about. If you just don't know what to think, that's probably worth talking about, too.
