I had my session with T today. A lot of emotional stuff came up, and a few tissues were used.

Then, I look at the clock, and notice it is time to end the session. I say to T "Well, its that time, and you have someone waiting...here is the check, thanks."

T stops me and says -- 'We have time, that is my worry." And I just lost it. The floodgates opened. I just sat there and let myself cry with T supporting me (and letting me squeeze the heck out of his hand.)

But....I feel bad about the timing. I don't like going over time because I feel guilty about it. But, I shouldn't really feel bad because T said it was ok. I didn't mean to leave it to the end of the session -- I was engaged the whole time, I just hadn't hit the whole emotional tipping point until I was about to leave. Or maybe, T telling me we had time was what triggered the catharsis. I don't know.

Do any of you guys go over time in your sessions? Am I worrying too much?
