> She has expressed concern before that sometimes I would process things on Babble that I would then not feel I had to process with her, so she would be missing out on issues of importance. I think she also felt sometimes that after working through things on Babble, she would get the very sanitized expurgated version.
My T has expressed that concern, too. He called it "bleeding off the transference". I do sort of understand his concern. And I do recall talking to him about something I'd spent a great deal of time and emotional energy processing here, first. It was sort of bland compared to the intensity of the feelings at the time. But you know, we can't control the timing of when stuff like that happens. And I think it's rather adaptive of us to utilize another form of support and processing, if it's helpful. And I certainly didn't want, nor was I likely able to sit on those feelings until the next week.
He said this after I emailed him one of my posts just to give him the "story", so that I could get going on the feelings and dynamics in the therapy session. I guess for him, hearing the story in the session is good, too. But to me, sometimes, it feels like wasting time, when I want to get to the meatier stuff.
