My therapist is very good, and I know he will do as much as possible with containing, but he also told me that at least for a time, things would spill over out of the therapy hour (45 minutes), but he said there would be a time that thinks could be contained within the therapy time. I know what he means. I think what I will do is try to get into things right away and tell him we need to sort of get onto a lighter topic toward the end. Oh hell, I tried to do that with my previous therapist, and it did not really work. I just don't know.

I think to myself, why bother; I am a psychologist, and so I will just do some self-analysis. I could, but I just wouldn't. Besides, it is always best to have someone who is not part of your life to be of help. I know this. So who am I kidding.

I keep thinking, "Maybe I should ask Fred," one of the psychologists who used to be at Menninger's when I did my postdoctoral training there. Then again, I don't want him to know I am having problems again. He knew of me as a patient and was very pleased to see me as a postdoc fellow, but that was because he and others thought I was doing so well. Actually I was.

Fred used to say that sometimes a person can only do a piece of the work s/he needs to do at a time, and that is okay. The person will come back to do further work later. I guess that's me; I put stuff on hold though I must confess I was never going to return to it. Life is not fair.

Thanks for your response.
