Yes this is me as well well. I plan almost every session but I really want to try an unplanned one more often. I think I am protecting myself and there's also a fear that if I don't plan it will be a wasted session and leave me feeling awful. That's usually not the case actually, very far from it it, but the fear around it it is huge. Sometimes planning is helpful for me, like you I have had productive sessions where I've wanted to discuss a particular issue esp if its about my immediate feelings re t..
