It used to really bother me that I couldn't bring it all to therapy. I felt like I was losing time, losing opportunities; that I wouldn't be able to come back to these things. It felt like failure, but as time has gone on I realize that it's okay. Sometimes these areas are separate and I do think it's all part of the same process... of self-discovery. So, I let it be.

This is a great statement. I was really getting upset also because my head would explode after therapy and all this "stuff" would surface that I then wanted to discuss and talk about. By the time I went back to the next session, it was gone or left unmentioned. This made me feel like I was withholding and not sharing enough with my T in order for her to help me. I started to realize maybe therapy wasn't about all about me expressing and sharing my personal thoughts. It might be more about getting my mind willing and able to tolerate going places where I typically refuse to go. I still have some trouble though figuring out what part of my "processing" if shared with my T could be expanded and developed further. And which is really personal enrichment stuff that doesn't need to be part of therapy.
