I had a session two weeks ago. I finally talked about it in decent detail, the entire time more and more emotion seeped through until it was all I could do not to break down. I still want to break down from it. Not only has it exhausted me, it's left me unable to function. I can't do much of anything. Today is the first I've really been able to write.
Maybe the emotional disconnect is the better course. I don't know.

No the emotional disconnect is just avoiding addressing the pain we still harbor. I've often said if therapy is not uncomfortable and a little or a lot painful it's not helping. You have to make yourself very vulnerable to work through this pain. Bring yourself to a place where past ideas of how to handle this are not a valid point. Just my opinion though. If we want to get better we have to go through the pain again and hopefully have better tools to deal with it this time.
