A few factors contribute to a good session, and one that I have most control over is this: When I come in, the real me, without any masks or defenses, and am genuine. I express what's in my heart. The real stuff. For example, I might start a session by saying, "I"m feeling so sad. Just so sad." Not just saying it from out of my head, but it's coming from inside of me, I am attuned to my emotional state and I express it. And then we take it from there. T asks questions to elicit more of my experience. I then talk more about how I feel. And why. And then there's catharsis.
