Definitely journaling helps when stuff feels all opened up and I need to just get it out of my head. Sometimes taking a brisk walk or drive, if I have the time. A nap helps, although it's rare that I can swing that. It also helps to know that a therapy hangover is normal and okay. Usually it passes on its own by the time I wake up the next morning, which is one benefit of afternoon appointments.

Sometimes visualizing me leaving my issue or problem is my T's office helps too. I imagine that I unpacked whatever it is and then I just left it on her desk when I walked out. One time I wrote down some stuff on a piece of paper and then realized at the end of my appointment that I didn't really want to take it with me, so I asked my T to hold onto it until later when/if I wanted to get back into it. As far as I know, it's still in her files or drawers somewhere. It sounds odd, but I feel less burdened by that thing when I remember that she's holding onto it for me, so I don't have to carry the weight of it all by myself.
