Hey all.
I have T on Thursday, and so much has happened since I last saw her, two weeks ago. I never journaled anything, but there's just so much stuff that I want to say that I don't want to say anything at all. If that makes sense.

Half of me wants to run away and cancel the appointment; the other half wants to journal what's been going on, but at the same time I don't want to do that because I actually feel at rest right now, and don't want to bring all those feelings back up.

Anyone have any suggestions about what I could maybe do?

Go see T.

See this is what comes from raising kids to think they have choices. It was nt like that in our day!

I see the dilemma, Yogix. I think it might be a good idea to write these things down, all the same. Could you visualise them as "being in the journal" so you don't have to confront them again after you've written them down? Until you see your T, that is.

I used to "pre-plan" sessions because I felt so much was going on and I wanted to get it in. I still do that to some extent, especially if there is a particular issue that seems really important to get to.

But over time I have tried to let go of this and just go in and let things happen. Being spontaneous actually is good for me to do. And I get surprised by things that come up that I didn't plan on. It shows me what is really at stake instead of what I thought was.

That's not really advice, just my own experience.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I think I will just go to session and see what happens. I, too, used to pre plan sessions but then I realized my emotions were never there because a lot of the things I pre planned to talk about were emotionally removed at the time of session.

Feeling this way today when I have to see my T. Force yourself to go see your T, sometimes it's helpful for me to sit in silence with her for a few minutes, and whatever slips out first is what we talk about
