Figured I'd just make a thread about this. I often end up crying after a marriage counseling session. Sometimes, it makes sense, like it was a particularly emotional or intense session. But other times, like today, it was more of a light session, not talking about too much of substance (mostly just about us maybe getting a dog, plus a few other things, but nothing deep). Yet, shortly after getting in the car, I started crying.

I think for days like today, maybe it's that I felt I wasted the session, like maybe there was something could have brought up but didn't, and now I have to wait another week. But I don't know. Or maybe it's just about the transference stuff. Because it doesn't tend to happen with individual T (occasionally, but not that often). MC also tends to make me feel very "safe," so I've also wondered if it's like, "I was in that safe place, and now I'm back out in the scary world again." Or maybe some mix of those?

Does this happen to anyone else? If so, have you figured out what's behind it?
