Therapy is there to make your life better, not to take over your life. Not saying that is the case with you of course. But for me, it created an opportunity to work on life in between sessions. I more and more focused my energy on getting things done before we'd speak again. I'd want to show progress by the next appointment.
Maybe trying to achieve this, putting your energy in 'a project in between' could be an option?
Does your T give you any homework to do? If not, maybe you can talk about that option too? It definitely worked for me.
Wishing you all the best.

I like the idea of putting a "project" in between each session, although I am nervous of failure and disappointing my T at the next session
