I've...gotten misty eyed at the end of some sessions. I always brushed it off, or maybe mentioned I felt clingy.

I have been experiencing emotional numbness in quite a lot of sessions. So much so that it's been interfering in therapy (we're doing schema therapy and a goal in that is to bypass the numbness and access the emotions).

Two sessions ago, I got misty eyed towards the end, after spending most of the hour in numbness. I brought it up, and then rather than letting me leave like in previous sessions, T and I talked about allowing the emotions to come up. I resisted, because I knew time was up (her phone alarm vibrated, so I knew...), saying I'm wasting her time, reminding her my allotted time is up etc. She persisted and we shared a short period of emotional connection. Which I valued greatly.

I just had my session again, and yeah, mid way, I noticed from her phone vibration that time was up. Still, she did give me extra time to allow me to come down from emotionality and be grounded before I left.
