I find that doing the deep work often relieves those "what's the point" feelings, and helps me feel more grounded and in control of myself. Maybe you just need a re-do of your session? To get the support you were hoping for? Or maybe a call or email would suffice?

Thanks Scarlet. I could do either, I'm not going to though because I didn't even tell her I'm going through with it and after the bad start to Friday's session, I don't really want to even though I do if that makes any sense. I'm just going to leave it alone and when I see her in 2 weeks it'll be done and over with anyway and will probably end up being a non-event, as big a damn deal as I've been making out of it.
Oh - y'know, I think you hit on something there. We have been doing some really deep work the last couple of Fridays and now I won't see her until the 15th so I bet this is a reaction to that more than anything else - the "what's the point" I mean. Even though I'm the one who can't make it on the 8th cuz I have other plans that day, I wonder if I feel a little like I'm blowing in the wind or something with 2 weeks between? Hmm. it's interesting too what you said about protector parts. "what's the point" could be coming from that too, in addition to the other, because while it's been really good work the last 2 times, it's also been super-hard emotionally and maybe something in me is trying to protect me from more of the same? Oops my lunch is over I gotta sign back onto work.
