I don't know what is going on over at admin - I find it less stressful to stay here. I admit it bothers me to hear the rumblings of it all - people leaving and so upset, etc. But if "we" hold it together over here, it remains what "we" need it to be. And right now I need my Babble friends. No guilt though - you do need to take care of yourself and do whatever is best for you.
I would like to say that it is pretty common if you have a highly emotional session to not remember much in the short term. It is likely to come back to you in parts and pieces, things said, questions asked. I think it is really, really important to take this post in because you ask some significant questions. If your inners are "playing games" with your therapist, there is a reason. It is a test of some kind and he should be on alert to the possibility that you are sort of out of the room during sessions. I try really hard to tell my therapist if I feel myself going away but it isn't always possible. Sometimes he'll ask "are you still with me?" - sometimes we figure it out together later.
It is scary to lose time. Maybe you can write down what you do know and piece it together over the next few days. I know when I write, I remember.
And I'd share my therapist with you if I could. I'm not very good at sharing though - and you've worked hard to build up trust with yours. Hang on to that, it is worth building on the foundation. It is hugely hard to start over.
I hope tomorrow is a better day.
