> Sometimes when I become too overwhelmed about the csa in session, and I don't know if I can wait until next time, I imagine stuffing the little demon into a box with a lock and key so it can't escape. I imagine that my T has the only key, so I am safe until I see her again. Sounds kind of silly, but it's an easier way for me to put it out of my mind.

The echo of csa on the present is, at least in part, a visualization. It is more than symbolic to purposefully lock the imagery away until later. It is respectful of the import of the csa, and demonstrates some control over it. I have little doubt about why it allows you to feel safe.
