I have been known to get together a list of things I then take to consulting therapists to explain the theory behind. Now that I have the first one not talking most of the time, I don't have to do this as much.

I often think after there was so much more I wanted to say that might help her understand the feelings better but then the next session it's a different topic I focus on and it starts all over.

Yep. I've came out of every appointment so far and only remember bits and pieces and don't have a clue what I've said.

I write an email to her immediately (or as immediately as possible) afterward. By so doing, and particularly since I dissociate sometimes when we're doing deeper work, I can sometimes/often jog my memory by writing things down and other times when I truly cannot remember something that I thought was important I ask her to please remind me what I said. Because I have issues with child and adult parts fighting, and the adult in particular doesn't always get a voice. So I use the emails as well as a chance for the adult to speak--though I do not use this as a crutch, most of the time the adult is in charge and gets to speak.
Is your therapist open to this type of communication? It has helped me tremendously. I actually feel less reliant on it than I used to, so I think I've gotten better at saying what I need to/making sure not to leave on a bad note. My T has also gotten better about helping me when I dissociate. Good luck! Last edited by Jdog123; Sep 22, 2013 at 07:51 PM. Reason: typo - damn psych meds and cognitive function... |

Now that things have gotten deeper with my T this happens SO much now.
I like that idea, Jdog123. Thanks!

I write right after the session but it spins and spins over and over in my head until the next time I see her. I wish I could see her more often so that my brain wouldn't have to spin around the same topic.
