I've found I need to be clear sometimes with my therapist. When I'm feeling lousy, therapy fills itself and I just try to hang on for dear life. When I'm feeling better, I'm vaguely concerned about the time and expense of therapy. At those times I'd like to use the momentary lull in my emotions to move forward and do some real work. But he's not a mindreader, and I do have to tell him. Maybe even come up with things I'd like to work on. Then of course, when I'm feeling worse, I have to warn him that now is not the time to do whatever it is he might do if I were feeling better.
I'm sure talking to her will be productive.
