I think I will tell her tomorrow that she's making things too complicated for me right now. That I can only process a limited number of theories and solutions at the moment. And when she suggested coming 3x a week, I did suggest to her that it wasn't a very appealing idea since therapy is a trigger for me now. Her idea seems to be that she needs to keep me grounded in the present - to avoid ruminating about the larger issues of what another depressive episode might mean. I can't quite envision a session where I successfully stay grounded in the present.
I guess I was taken aback also because the offer of another session seemed so unlike her. There have been times when I thought I might really like to see her for an extra session or two, but I just never felt that I could ask for that.
BTW - I would have been incredibly touched by your T's suggestion. I know it sounds like an incredibly difficult thing to do, but I hope you reach a point where you feel you can take him there.
