well sunrise, if not going was the thing to do then i should have stayed away from therapy for the entire last year! Not every session can be turned onto deeper work, sometimes maintaining the foundations, doing some structural integrity work is needed... meaning, sometimes you can use T to help just cope and take care of yourself.
Give yourself permission to "waste" his time and your own. It's ok to need someone. It's not stupid to have needs which aren't emergencies.
