Maybe I don't need to work on it after all."

However, I DO want and need to work on it. So, how do I, or you, prevent the new, watered down feelings from taking over, thus minimizing the problem? Maybe I'm imagining this as a problem, but I see it as a kind of loophole, but not for my benefit. Does anyone have a clue what I mean? I may be complicating a simple question!
You don't have to do all your therapy in T's office. Also, you need a strategy to cope with the days between sessions. (I was very bad at that.)

If you feel better after journaling, do it. You can always read your journal to T later.
