I get myself stuck in this "should" place - I think I "should" know how to handle things after 5 years in therapy. I think I "should" be done with some of the pain. I hate process when I know I "should" be more open to it!

Therapist speak was a term my therapist used when referring to those things therapists offer up in a global sense - kind of like the cliche "how does that make you feel?" I once said there had to be a book of sayings and questions that you received when you graduated - the secret guide book to doing therapy.

I get what you are saying about coming to an understanding within myself about things. I also know that I need to let go of wanting to understand it all because there is no explanation for some of this. I find it frustrating.

Perhaps if I could figure out what I wanted from my therapist outside of sessions, this would allow me to recognize that I either can't have it, or to get it. But that has been like grasping at smoke - nothing sticks. Today is better though.

I will try to be gentle with myself. I appreciate your response.
