Sometimes when I feel like I don't know what to talk about it is because I feel like we "ended" something. (Of course I avoid lots of things on purpose too.) Especially when we've had a really good session the time before. Maybe unconsciously you didn't want to "break the spell?" I'm never sure if I'm doing that myself.
I think it is good that you expressed your longing in such an honest way. And I'm struck again by how powerful the human need for touch is and how many of us begin to long for it from those we feel close to. Even if rationally we really don't want it. Sort of like premature infants. Their skin is so thin that touch can actually be painful but they thrive on being held and hearing a human heart beat. We are such interesting bundles of contradictions, aren't we?
I'm guessing that this is one of those times you are glad (very glad?) that you've increased your sessions to twice a week so you don't have to wait so long to revisit such an important topic. Weekends tend to chew up the emotional intensity but I hope you can hold on to some of the feelings you had at the end because I imagine it was hard to say and since you surprised yourself, very important.
I admit that I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way! Maybe we need a new club?
Thanks for sharing. (((GG)))
