It's still staying in the present, but I don't walk into session saying "well, time to talk about my mom." It's just about whatever feels pertinent at the time. This is probably why my session yesterday was so weird to me.

The thing is that when I'm there I'm usually overwhelmed so it's really hard for me to talk about really important stuff. For example these days I went through something that was constantly on my mind but then when I go to T chances are I might start talking about something else. He says, that then probably the other thing was not so important. But I think it was as it has been eating me away for days. Just that in T I can't focuse because of the overwhelm.
And then I get out of there frustrated that I haven't talked about anything except me being overwhelmed and at the end I got to something deeper but oops, the clock is ticking, and it's soon over.
Can you email your T? In my case it's not really possible, probably because it doesn't fit into the "present-moment" paradigm. But I do have issues with opening up in the present moment and my thoughts start flowing only towards the end of the hour, but then it's over and I would need it so much to share things with him but I can't. And the next time it is the same all over...
