does anyone feel this way, its not that i am dependendant or too attached mind you i been only seeing this t for about 9 months but only 2 a month due to insurance issues hopefully soon i can see her once a week, because we are discussing deep issues, but it seems like time stops the minute i walk out of that session waiting for the next session, but as soon as i walk into her room time just speeds up super sonic its incredible, sometimes i go in full of garbage in my head like a dumpster and i leave half full and sometimes almost empty by the second day after therapy im almost full and its been a rough 2 weeks for me my dumpster is overflowing and i only have about 1hour to sort through my garbage sort a speak omg

Whether its a week or 5 weeks still feels like an eternity. As I've said before the therapy room is a TARDIS.

We actually have a TARDIS in the therapy room

Eta: its a stuffed one about a foot high - if you press it, a light goes on and it makes a noise. T is really into dr who. Im a sometime watcher, I dont always have the channel.

sweepy, I was ready for another session the day after the last one; and had an overflowing tank ... waiting can be really hard at times and does seem to stretch and stretch when it feels like that

you do hankster?

I know what you mean I think I need a triple session

[rainbow8]

I've always wished I could have an all day therapy session!! What a fantasy!! It used to seem like forever until I saw my T but lately the time has gone faster because I don't think about therapy every minute. Maybe every other minute, though! Seriously, the session flies by and the time drags in between no matter what.

[sweepy62]

i think theres some sort of time warp in that room that only t knows about lol because i just cant explain how the minute you step out the door time slows down

I totally get you on the garbage metaphor. My T says I really need about 3 sessions a week but I can't afford the time or money.

My T walks a fine line between helping me feel contained and letting me explode.

It really has been just about eons for me - pushing 3 months now - so yeah, it feels like a long time in between. But even between regularly paced sessions, sometimes it can feel long. Not so much now as it used to though.

time wise I could manage; money wise is the big problem for me

I've wondered how that works as well

[Miswimmy1]

it seems like a long time when i first leave and then the days just sort of blend together. Then again, I don't really look forward to seeing my therapist or anything so its not like I'm excitedly anticipating our session...

[Freewilled]

Time literally just flies by when I enter the therapy room. Then it always sloooooooooows way down for the rest of the week. Wth? I guess Ts have invented some type of time warp, eh?

[growlycat]

I wish I put it all away in a box when I'm done with my 50 minutes. But I have to obsess and pick at things don't I?

Main T isn't back until the week of Sept 10 but we were in a rut anyways--hoping he is a bit more engaging on his return.

CBT guy is gone until the 26th. I think this is the longest I have been without therapy in a long time. Last year it was about a month without any T's.

[stopdog]

I don't really look forward to therapy appointments. Time passes extremely slowly for me while I am at them.

[tealBumblebee]

This is soooooo the exact way that i've been feeling all week. Oh my gosh. I'm literally down to counting the hours now, and I told myself that I have to tell T that I don't like the way she's invading my mind during the week lol. Monday took forEVER to get here.

[healed84]

When things are going bad, it seems like a week takes FOREVER!! Right now, because I am either contracted with him (or promised myself) that I would be safe from the last appointment to the next. When I am not in crisis mode, a weeks seems, bearable.

[sweepy62]

Exactly right now I feel like one of those thing that measures earth quakes and my mind is about to have a tremor and Wednesday seems so far away and yet I'm dreading Wednesdays session but can't wait for it go figure is it some sort of mind control lol are we puppets in the therapeutic world

Oh yeah, it will be eons cos t is on holiday for a month
I would like two sessions per week too. Maybe I should try psychoanalysis.

One thing that helps me is writing in a journal every day to let some of my thoughts out. It's a relief to write everything down in a diary and then put it away for a while. Then the next time you go back to your therapist you can bring your thoughts you wrote down and discuss the most nagging issues you're dealing with.

I'm self-employed so going to T costs me time I could spend working, and then I usually can't get back into work and stuff for a few hours (or sometimes the whole of the rest of the day).
