You've had a rough week.

I'll bet what you're upset about isn't stupid at all, and I appreciate that your therapist cares enough about you to want you to address it.

But not even for him do you have to address something until and unless you're ready for it.

It's ok to tell him and your husband that for right now you need to sit back and take some deep breaths. That you've gone a long way and aren't ready to take another step right now. It's fine to step back, curl up, and take care of your own needs. You've gone far, you've toiled hard, you're entitled to do that.

And your therapist should be proud of you for being assertive about what you need right now. ;)

It'll get better than it is right now. It really will. Just curl up and rest and regain some energy.
