I cried so much during the session today that it felt like I was in daze right after. I'm still not 100% sure what went on. We are doing trauma work at the moment and I remember mentally leaving the session several times and having intense flashbacks, but my T has been really good at pinpointing exactly when it happens and he always makes sure to bring me back into the present and back in the room before moving forward.
After the hour was up, T told me to take all the time I need and to make sure that I feel safe leaving. I felt bad taking up the time, so I did stay, but only for 5 more minutes. He again stressed the importance of having support at this time and told me that I can email him if I am struggling during the week and he will reply.
Normally, I would ignore this, but I think I will reach out to him if I end up struggling this week. Thank you to everyone here who gave advice about out of session contact!
