Then, the time comes for my next session. I leave on a 'high' and, once again, the circle repeats itself. This has been going on for the last 2 years out of the 3.5 years that I have been in therapy. I'm stuck.

That's pretty much how I feel too. Sometimes it is different but usually I feel just as you described. It is a strange and annoying cycle for me.

Thank you

I've already given her a termination time, so it's unlikely we'll heal and I'll just continue to be polite and finish on a quiet note. I can't afford to see another T as I was on a sliding scale with her and I'm done with therapy and will just need to go through IVF not being in therapy.

Hope you are well xx

I do this too sometimes. My T commented on my jokes: he said it is good to see my humour, because for a while I wasn't capable of it, and it is a good thing. He said that in deep depression humour isn't something the brain does. So your jokes are a good sign in that way.

My moods depend on how the therapist interacts with me. If I feel he has puffed up my ego a bit and we've shared some special connection then I feel on top of the world.

However, if the session is without any special feelings or there isn't a connection from him then I'm let down.

Most of the time, no difference. :/

It depends on the session and what is has involved. Sometimes I leave on a high if I feel a big sense of achievement, or I've had a really affirming talk with my T. I don't think I have ever left a session visibly upset, because I'm sure my T wouldn't want to part with unresolved issues that couldn't be carried over until next time. I have probably put on a brave face frequently though, and then cried after I get home.

For awhile, felt great. Sometimes totally spaced out Sometimes really upset. Then went through a period where I left angry at HER...basically all the time. Every once in awhile I feel truly connected and "heard" and that is a great feeling and I'm always hoping for.
