It's really hard processing everything from the session and trying to 'hold' onto those thoughts and feelings, to express them in the next session. I write things down in a journal, which helps. Even if I forget things, they still get processed by me. They still 'sink' in and after all, it's more important that I'm the one working this all out. My therapist doesn't have to know every thought or reflection - I think it gradually becomes apparent during the course of therapy anyway.

I could email him (though our agreement was that I could email him during the break if I needed to) but he wouldn't respond - so to me, it would be a bit like writing in a journal anyway. Whatever it is about for you, it sounds like a good subject to bring up.

Unless there is a real need to have more sessions of course. It's hard to negotiate the balance between dependency, trust and self sufficiency. It's also really hard to feel the connection between sessions.
