session tomorrow....
been dealing with emotions stirred up by session on monday.  to make most of the time, i'm bringing my journal so she see can see where I've been emotionally since Monday. (it's better than my verbal skills  )I've never shared my journal before. Not really scared or anxious to share this with her. I think it'll help her know how to help me. looking forward to the extra support. in the meantime, the waves of emotions keep coming.   it's exhausting.

It is exhausting... Hang in there! I like the idea of sharing your journal. Here's one idea, hope it doesn't sound silly: I share my journal entries(well, not all of them) with my T, but I actually photocopy the pages I want her to read and then give them to her.
Sometimes we talk about what I have written and sometimes not. Either way, it's nice to know she has taken the time to read my writing... |

 that's a really good idea to take your journal, and that you keep one ... I think it will help both of you to see what's been going on for you the last few days and hopefully help you to move past the avoiding

Good luck tomorrow! I'm glad you can see your T twice this week. Do you usually see her once/week? I also think it's a good idea to bring your journal with you. I used to do that when I was seeing my former Ts. It was helpful when I couldn't tell them how I felt.
I know it's uncomfortable when emotions get stirred up but that's where you need to do the work!

I wish you all the best. I read T a 9 page letter yesterday. It was daunting, but I think it was worth it. You are right, it is exhausting. GOOD LUCK!!

Butterflies Are Free, tigergirl, rainbow8, popeye, granite1, SilentLucidity - thank you ALL for your encouragement and support. I do appreciate it!!!
 Unfortunately, my therapist got weird about the whole journal thing and I told her never mind. I don't think I have the energy for this right now.
