When she asked me to have an agenda so to speak, I found myself thinking of therapy TOO much. I go twice a week, and spent the time in between trying to figure out what I'd bring up at the next session. But I kind of liked how it had been going. It just worked for me. She realized that I felt some pressure with this new suggestion, and she dropped it. So we're back to just winging it.

Hi MusingLizzy!

It IS exhausting. I think about things alot (which probably isn't helping), but I also treat it like anything else... for example... I take piano lessons, but I don't get *better* during the lesson, I get better practicing between lessons. So I try to think about T stuff between sessions... consider what he said, what I need to address next time, prioritize things that we're talking about, figure out how to convey something. Lots going on.

I'm glad your T dropped her request, and isn't causing you more stress! I found it a little funny... because my T has been hinting that he'd like me to STOP bringing in lists of things to talk about! But he's so expensive, and I know myself, if I don't have a list, I won't have anything to say - even if I think up a list, if I can't look at it, my mind will blank out

. I'm not sure T gets that yet, as I don't think he's seen that clearly enough with me yet...

Thanks!
