We've probably all had them: those sessions where you feel like you didn't connect, talk about anything important, and leave feeling a little bummed at the "wasted" time. I'll bounce back - actually, our last session was amazing, the best yet. I think I'm just tired. Even he noticed it and asked me if I was feeling ok :YAWN: I think I'm going to bed! Anyone had a session like this recently?

Yeah, I have them about once a month. It is normally a good opportunity to have a break from trauma, and we have a lighter, calmer session.

Yes! I totally have those. I don't mind the "light" sessions so much as sessions where I feel we aren't connecting or both missing the point of what the other is saying.
I had a particularly blah session on Monday, in fact! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I rarely have any other kind. I thought they were the norm.
The woman rarely,if ever, seems to understand what I am talking about. The few times she does, the next appointment is a disaster so it seems better to me not to have the exceptional ones - that way the woman is more predictable. She is rarely consistent.

It happens. I've had many therapists and I've found that the better ones will usually have less of those sessions. But nonetheless it will inevitably happen with all therapists. Just consider it a bonding-through-the-awkwardness experience.

TODAY! We had some good, intense sessions last week and just yesterday I was thinking that our deep connection seems to have gotten even deepen. Then today was yawn... odds and ends, discussing coverage while she's out of town, my difficulty getting off a med, and poof, it was over. I feel OK about it having happened at most levels. I remind myself that the blah sessions are those that make the awesome ones stand out.

I hate those type of sessions. The worst thing is, they tend to happen when you desperately need to connect to them and when it turns out blahhh you feel cheated.
