This is hard! I also like journaling. I keep a journal app on my phone, right after my session I sit in my car and jot down as much as I can remember from the session—what I said, what my therapist said, questions for next week, etc. This “brain dump” not only helps me remember what we talked about from week to week (I always like Yalmon’s theory about therapy being one ongoing conversation), but also helps me get it all down and transition back to real life. My therapy appointments are in the evenings after work, and when I get home my young son wants my attention, dinner needs to go on the table, etc. My drive home from therapy is also one of the few times in my life when I don’t mind traffic—the music on the way home usually gets pretty loud.
