> Seldom.Yep, definitely-- Sometimes, recently I have started crying after a session, because some deep nerve was touched. Even though I was pretty chatty during the session, I was sitting there with a lot of bodily tension. And then I LOST it driving home. Sometimes I feel that I use the humor to avoid talking about this scary stuff, but obviously it gets stirred up anyways. I just wish I could express my grief in the session, where it could become part of the discussion.
