[likelife]

Just came from a session with T. I'm starting to feel intensely frustrated with myself. Like I can't think straight and I can't articulate anything. I'm still in a fog now. This happened to me over and over with my exT, and probably contributed to the end of that process.

I know I'm not making much sense and I don't even have a real question. I'm just so overwhelmed. Want to cry, but also really, really don't want to cry.

I am sorry that you're having a rough time. It sounds very painful. It is ok not to be able to articulate right now.

Sounds like therapy has stirred up emotions that yet haven't had words put to them. Keep going.

That happens with me too likelife! It's like a post therapy mist, I have therapy on my mind constantly. I don't know if you do or if it's the same for you but it's hard to see past the mist sometimes.

did you talk a lot about some horrible things. I know that can cause a huge T hangover. sorry things are so foggy and hard. can you ask your T to slow down a bit .especially if this is what lead to the end of your last T

This sounds like when I am dissociating (or the fog as I think of it too). Usually those feelings will surface if you can stick with it....start writing more here or in a journal.

Most of my sessions leave me like this. Very rarely do I walk out of there able to function fully.

Thanks, everyone for the support. The fog has cleared a little for me, at least enough for me to let my T know that I'd like to meet sooner than the two weeks I had initially scheduled for our next appointment.

I know that stuff with my exT is getting stirred up, which is really stuff from my childhood getting stirred up, and I just don't want it to be! Kind of ridiculous, I know. I'm so wary of depending in any way on my current T. Just last week I was semi-congratulating myself for not falling into the same transference trap that I did with my exT. And then this week, bam! it all came flooding back. The shame and the fear are so overwhelming sometimes.
