Sitting in my car today waiting for 12.00 - my T time slot - I remembered T asking what I do as I await my session? I said "I sit in my car and play candy crush"

T said, "do you not prepare yourself for the session?".

Me: nope.

Why that conversation should come back to me today as I say waiting. But I decided to put down distractions and think about what was going on for me in that moment.

I noticed I felt confused. I told T that when I entered our room.

T nodded. I asked what was that all about? T said, well life outside of therapeutic is fixed, we mostly know what's going on, in therapy nothing is fixed.

That's nave me ponder life -again - just gave robotic we can live it. I think I prefer the uncertainty of the therapeutic hour. I enter, 50mins later I am sometimes leave - not every session - more aware than when I walked in. That feels more alive.

I think it is a good idea to prepare. Does your therapist give you opportunity to have input into the agenda of your sessions? Mine goes so far as to give me homework.

No she doesn't. She meant more "do i focus on how I'm feeling " before a session.
