As part of our treatment is good to see a T.
They are there to teach you different couping skill and let you vent things out. How about when you get out the office and the therapy is so intense that make you feel empty and in despair. Any one can tell what have you done to help? I know this hadhappend to others. I've been in therapy quite a bit but this is the first time it hapend., and my thoughts were not good. genn

I do understand what your going through...Sometimes I just have to come home and I either write (journal) my exact feelings rambling as much as I can about how I am feeling to help me get out why I feel so "empty" drained and almost to the point of at a INTENSE HIGH! That helps me to kinda figure out that I might be coming to a point a knew memory or feeling body memory that is coming that I have yet to experience and that is why emotions are so high. So by journaling or just using word association on paper it relieves some stress. I also will put on a really favorite movie (cartoons too lol) and just completely go into the movie to relax and let myselves just let go! I hope anything I have said isn't making you more confused? Anyway's sending hugs if okay? MC

 Can you give T a ring after a session like that? The intensity of feelings do subside after a few days but it might be helpful for you to speak with T if you are feeling that desperate.

If we realize that a session has been heavy and are begining to experience some of what you are saying, we usually tell T right then. She will tell us that she is available if we need her, reminds us of our tools in our toolbox, helps us do some breathing before we leave.
She has been good at doing a check in about 5-10 minutes before session is over and asks how we are doing. If we are ok to drive home. She also does some winding down so we never leave in a bad place. It took us to tell her we needed that. We came to realize that our T isn't a mind reader after all--  imagine that we said!!!wi

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
