Today's session (we're on a weird schedule this week) was a bit mixed, but I was just thinking about something from near the end and smiling about it. We were referencing conflicts we've had (including this most recent one) and he compared them to opening a barn door and letting a horse out (OK, that sounds sort of negative). Like, it's difficult to get the horse back in.

But then we expanded it to all these animals getting out, and he said he just pictured a whole bunch of farm animals running and being like, "I'm free!" I said, "May as well throw in an elephant, too, like an elephant in the room," and he said, "Sure, why not?" So we were just picturing a wide mix of animals frolicking out of a barn.

Hm...maybe this is a metaphor I need to think on more. Not in the sense of how once I say something I can't get it back, but more about the thoughts being happy about being released instead of pent up? Hm...
