I am just home from a session today and I am exhausted. I've never cried so much in recent memory. My feelings were all over including those of self-loathing. But there was a take-away from all this. The therapist told me I needed to give myself permission to be sick.

My last session wasn't brilliant. Narrowly avoided getting hospitalized against my wishes.

My last session went okay. I didn't have any breakthroughs, or any major shifts in how I understand things or perceive things. But I didn't have any major misunderstandings with T either. I feel like something "more" should be happening in my sessions and it's just not there...Kit

My last session was very painful but relieving at the same time. Normally they are uplifting for me

My T canceled our last session because his wife had to urgently go to the hospital. I hope he's back this week.

My last few sessions have been really, really good. I haven't been mad at him in almost a month, which I think is some kind of record lol.

My last session I stayed present the entire time and did not go into freeze mode.

My last session was canceled bc T was sick.
I emailed and said if she needed to take Friday off again, please do! Her response was reassuring: “I will be there Friday. I'm here now. Thinking of you, T” |

My last session was harrowing. We've been having so many flashbacks lately. I feel mentally physically emotionally exhausted. I am tired and I want a break. Too much hurting, too much fear, too much pain.

Last session was very reassuring. She also told me that I need to work on challenging my negative thoughts, that if I can accomplish that, I'll get better.

I felt like I wasted my T's time in our most recent session.
I can't... make progress. |

My last session was very positive and hopeful. It was the week before my T had her surgery. I saw her on November 7th and she had the surgery on November 14th. Although she had been in relatively good health before the cancer, and the operation went well (although long), she had some post-operative complications, and is still not back to work. Three months without her. I do have my Pdoc, and we have been meeting once a week, but it's not the same; I know you know what I mean.
