Hi gg, sorry he's popped this on you. Does it feel rather threatening (ie the threat of the loss of babble)?
I think that if you don't have much contact with him between sessions, then you need somewhere where you can work through things a bit. Either here or in a journal or whatever. Even if the emotion has leveled out a bit when your next session comes around. It just seems too hard to stay angry/hurt/whatever for days on end. And even then it doesn't get worked out in one session, so it could be a week or two on end.
I think that the important thing for me is that I don't use babble as a crutch feelings reliever. That even if I do get comfort from here, that I use that calmness to look more closely at why I had the reaction I did. And then talk about that with my T. I think that it would be easy to use babble to relieve the anger/hurt/etc and then avoid the in depth why's.
Having said all that, I do realise there are people here who use babble that way and I'm not saying their way is wrong. I'm just saying it's wrong for me.
I don't know if that all made sense. My brain is running out.
