Today I was telling him that I often feel as though I'm just "in orbit," spinning around in outer space with nothing to hold onto.
At the end of session, I told him that I didn't want to leave because the room acted as a container for my emotions-- I was able to experience a range of emotions with him today and nothing catastrophic or destructive took place.
I said, "After I leave here, I just go back into orbit-- but at least I have a really cool astronaut helmet to wear."
So T goes, "Oh wow... well, feel free to bring it in."
I just stared at him for a moment and then I go, "No, that is part of the fantasy."
He goes, "Oh!" and then bursts out laughing, turns his chair and goes, "Okay well session's over, you have to go now!!!"
I told him, "You are so nervous and off guard today and I'm getting kicked out of therapy for it?"
LOL, it was the end of the session anyway. So funny.
