Skittles,
I'm sorry you are still hurting. I've had sessions like that. I actually did talk to my T and said I thought given all that I had going on in my life, it felt too fast, and could we please slow it down. He never really agreed to that, but I noticed that we did lighten up a bit towards the end of sessions. I don't know if he did that or I did and he went along with it, but it helped. I also have a post-T ritual...Starbucks! Now I have gone in before with my eyes red and puffy, and I hate that, but I have to get my fix. Fortunately, there is also a drive thru Starbucks a little farther away, and if I am feeling really fragile, I'll go to that one.

Is there something special you could do for yourself as a sort of closing ritual to help you transition out of the session?

Take care,
gg
