Simcha, I really don't think it's denial related, but I'm not sure it is ADHD related either. Maybe it's just who I am and isn't a way to be that needs adjusting--it's just different.

I think we sometimes know instinctively what we need, and it can be good to go with that.

One thing I really liked at the very end of my session was that T went over to sit at his desk and look at his appointment book to schedule me for next time. I too took out my calendar and I got absorbed in looking at the various appointments and obligations I have over the next few weeks. I kind of forgot I was supposed to be looking for a time to see T, lol. And the thing is, he did the same thing! We were both just sitting there at opposite ends of the room, zoning out while we read through our calendars. Finally, he said, "um, we're supposed to be making an appointment for you," and then he scheduled me for next week without even asking. (We are often meeting only every other week now.) That made me feel great!
