I also think it depends on what's discussed in session. Like in my last marriage counseling session, I ended up discussing some really painful thoughts and feelings. So it's been a struggle since then--doesn't help that my individual T was on vacation this week, so I couldn't talk to her about it as I normally would. I ended up sending MC a couple e-mails, which helped (but then waiting for a response was difficult...)

I think it's just really difficult--and a bit unnatural--having what can be a really emotional conversation with someone, then it's like, "OK, time is up, see you in a week." So then you're left alone with all those emotions. Sometimes it feels like an emotional wound has been reopened with a session, and like it can't really be healed until you see your T again.

I also have issues with insecure attachment, and I'm particularly attached to my MC, so that makes it more difficult...
