In reply to I hated my session today BIG TIME today..., posted by annierose on October 6, 2006, at 19:31:16
Canceling is not the answer. But, boy, I do know that urge! I hate, hate, hate having bad sessions at the end of the week too. It is the worst feeling to leave disconnected and unhappy.
I'm sure what you were feeling was both her being distracted and old stuff in the room with you. I would have reacted the exact same way to snotty comments. But we both know that we have to go over and over and over and over and over those early feelings before we can really understand how much they drive us and our relationships. And then we have to go over them some more in order to change the power these old feelings have. I wish there was an easier way.
All that said, don't you wish you could ask your therapist: "who do I remind you of in your past? You seem to be reacting to something else in here today..." (think she'd answer?)
