I think I tell my T pretty much everything. It's been hard, but I've tried not to withhold what I'm thinking about and I've tried even harder to tackle the topics which are inherently difficult. The thing is, I feel like I'm stuck or something. Actually, stuck isn't quite the right word, but I feel like there's something I really want to, need to, or should be talking about. I just don't know what it is. Does that make any sense?
I've had a few sessions recently that I like to call "book club sessions". Literally, in one of them, we discussed what books we're reading or have read. Or sometimes it's like it was yesterday, and I just talked a lot about work. There's stuff going on, but I really don't know that it was worthy of an entire session. Toward the end, he was making some comments about what I had told him and I actually made him stop. I couldn't stand that we were spending anymore time on it or, as I told him, I didn't want him to even think about it on my behalf.
Don't get me wrong. I definitely think there are benefits in having the occasional book club session. We've sensed a bit of a shift in the dynamic of our relationship and that's always worth exploring. But...I spent the better part of the session feeling like there was something else I wanted to talk about or maybe was avoiding talking about. I just don't know what it is, though.
I've probably posted this before. I've felt like it plenty of times over the almost four years I've been in therapy. Do any of you ever feel this way? Any suggestions for figuring out what "it" is?
