Yes, you're describing a lot of what I'm going through now with my pdoc.
I see him every other week. The intensity has been really high for the last two months and I swear, when I walk out the door I often can't remember a thing we talked about, and I have a terrible time reconstructing what happened when I see my T the next morning! I can feel it, though, and that's what's important for me.
So I have a therapy hangover until I can figure out what happened emotionally, and that can take up to 4 or 5 days. I have incessant conversations w/him in my head and I think about calling him. But I don't. I want so much to talk to him and can't believe I have to wait so long to continue the conversation or say, "But what about...".
By the end of the first week I'm usually OK and then a day or two before the next session I start to get nervous again.
It's a rollercoaster for sure. I've been taught that the things I can't remember are important because for me, my mind is protecting me. I often go in and say "I can't remember a thing about our last session," although I certainly feel it.
I'm sorry you go through this too. It can be tough.
