I can relate to this statement. What is up with this??? Why can't we just get over it already and let it out? I don't know about you but... I am just plain stupid during my sessions. There is no valid excuse for not utilizing this interaction! I just can't get it out. Some days I can't even remember what my issues are sometimes until the session is over and I say, "DAMN, this issue really bothers me, why didn't I talk about that when had the chance to get some insight?"

I also freak out a little when things feel too intimate, though. Kind of like how the other poster would share stuff and then not want to go back. Maybe this is similar... Sometimes it feels invasive somehow, like he has crawled into my head. Hard to explain.

Wow! I feel like this a lot.

Regarding Time blocks:
I am not territorial about my time block. However, I did see a major difference in my T's demeanor when I switched my days from Tuesday to Wednesday. I am seriously considering switching back. Maybe it was just a bad day for her or I got caught up in a little bit of counter-transference or something. Luckily it was a very productive session, I just didn't like her that day.

Every time my time block or day changes now I do wonder if I might be messing someone's time block up. I would really hope that my T wouldn't schedule someone in another patient's regular time block if it really bothered them. I don't know if she is considerate of her patients in this regard or not.It likely would depend on if there was a therapeutic reason for making this accommodation, she might protect someone's time block. If I told my T I was upset about my time block being taken, I imagine that she would say to me something like... 'Sorry, no one owns a time block, if this change upsets you, get over it!'
