Yup. That was pretty much my life following appointments. When you work full-time, are married, and have kids, "me" time is a rare commodity. That's one of the reasons I always got to my therapy appointments early, so I could just sit their and decompress BEFORE my appointments so that they would, at least, be fairly productive. But after them, life had to go back to my real world. In a way, it was a good thing I think. It forced me get grounded more quickly whereas if I had had time to just continue to dwell on my session, I might have had more trouble getting grounded. I also think I learned to compartmentalize the therapy life from my real life which I think helped me from becoming too focused on my therapy -- I think that can be definite issue for some. So, in general, I didn't particularly mind that I had to quickly transition back into my real world. In the long-run, it did me more favors than it hurt.
