You could have my problem; my T would have me free-associate like that and within 3 sentences we were lost, off in the weeds because my stream of consciousness is a mess :-) All the fear comes out so my associations go from "fear of saying the wrong thing" to ". . . and then the monster. . ." :-) and the other person is like, "What monster? Where'd the monster come from?" My good old imagination can keep me safe even if I have 100 psychologists after me, LOL.
