The problem is that therapy unleashes powerful thoughts and feelings, and when the hour is up the client is stuck with whatever has been whipped up or whatever surfaces in the ensuing days. And for those given to anxiety and rumination (possibly resulting from prior trauma), no contact becomes a torment and possibly counter-productive. I blathered about this in a recent thread, but the last thing that should happen is to have a client spiraling into dysregulation and panic.

In a way I think it's the in-session contact that's not healthy.
