I find myself doing this a lot also. It helps if I journal as if I were writing to t and telling her all the things I didn't get to say in session. Sometimes I read it to her the next session, or I text her (either about what was unsaid, or just to find connection to her), or I send her an email with whatever it was I wanted to tell her. It was that way this past session. I ended up doing all of the abbot options I mentioned. I started out just journaling it, but then remembered t had asked me to reach out more if needed, so I text her asking if I could email what I had written... she gave her email again through text, and I sent it off...

I'm not sure if your t would be ok with any of that (well, the out-of-session communication. The journaling and reading/letting t read next session thing wouldn't really be an issue for many t's i don't think), but those are just some of the things that have worked for me. Sometimes it's easier to get to what I need to say, other times I can't get out of my own way during session... I don't often do the emailing thing, but I wanted to be more accountable for talking about that stuff next session. Usually, I just journaling about it and take that in with me whenever I see her next.
Thanks for this!
