I want to journal about it, or talk about it here, but similar to what bluemoon posted in her thread I'm afraid of bringing up all the emotions I had in session & being alone here at home to deal with them.

Just feel so drained, and scared, and alone. I feel like I had a good connection w/T during therapy today, but now I have to navigate the next 7 days alone and I just don't know how I'm going to do that with all these memories & emotions so close to the surface.

It's not an easy journey we're on, there's a lot of pain that goes along with the healing. Just take it one hour at a time, one day at a time - it will get better!

Dream is absolutely right, just take one moment at a time and try to be very good to yourself Sometimes things need to settle down before you can think about it again, take your time

I slept really, really well last night, which was great. I feel a lot better today, but of course now I don't remember much of yesterday's session & I'm wishing I had pushed myself to journal something, anything, about it while it was still fresh.

I have often had that happen, where I want to escape the emotions and then when I'm ready to go back to them, I've lost it.

What I do now is jot down short notes as soon as I leave, in the car. I use texting shorthand so I can dump out the most salient points/moments as quickly as possible. Then I put it away for a few days and go on with my regular life. When I'm ready to go back to the session to reflect, I have the notes to jog my memory.
