My therapist couldn't figure out why I was making a big deal of something, making mountains out of molehills. And finally I found the words to tell him that some things were *always* big things, but that I just didn't talk about them unless I had some reminder of them, because you can't keep talking about the same things over and over.
And he was surprised!! He hadn't realized that there were big things just sitting there. He thought that once we had talked about them, they went away! Isn't that funny?
He said we should talk about them more often, when I wasn't actually upset. So I was thinking of putting them on slips of paper in a cup, and shaking them up before a session adn pulling one out. :)
