Were you always so aware of what you were feeling immediately in session that you could just tell your T?

Ha! Would that I were!!!

Sunny,
I have only just begun to be able to respond in the moment and it is exhilirating when I can. However, I cannot always do it, and often I think of things afterward that are important for me to say. Sometimes they can wait and sometimes they can't so I call T. I asked him if I call too much and he said that considering the kind of childhood I had, no.

Responding in the moment requires intense concentration, not something I am terribly adept at, but it is good for me to try. It means letting go of fears and trusting T. It also means letting go of inhibitions and preconceived ideas about how things should go and sometimes any agenda you come in with about what you wish to accomplish because other emotions that pop up present themselves to be worked on.

I have also been trained as responding in the moment to my students, so it's a concept that has been presented to me on many levels this year.

I say go for it, and see where it takes you! Maybe you are realizing how little your previous T was able to give you because your now T gives you so much! I know I have had a similar reaction. I can't believe I was in therapy for over 3 years because there is zero comparison between the two relationships.

Cheers,
Sister
