I often wonder the same thing Jinnyann. Different issues, but I often feel like I hide the worst most painful stuff. And I also have toruble some days where I think I won't be able to make it until my next session (though kudos to you for making it a few weeks between sessions... you must be doing a lot of hard work). I think we avoid the tough stuff because it will make us feel worse in the present. I think we spend so much time avoiding feeling bad that when we know deep down that we have something that's going to make us feel bad, we avoid bringing it up, or we try to minimize it. The only way you're going to feel better about your issues is if you get to the root of them unfortunately. I agree with splitimage... you sometimes get worse before you get better. it doesn't make it any easier to go through, but just be honest with yourself and your T. Good Luck.
