I kind of gave up on the concept of productive a while back. I try to go with what my gut says. Sometimes I'll have a list of stuff but anymore that is for stuff I don't want to forget to talk about and not pressing topics.

I try to remind myself that not every session has to be "work" that some sessions can be about bonding and others can just be about recharge/renewal and those are ok too.

My T says that if something needs to be addressed, it will come back around in time so not to worry about it.
