No, you probably aren't off base. I think talking to him about when he did leave me probably did push me back in time a bit to relive it. When I come to think about it, reliving that time is probably why I brought up the shopping. I certainly don't think about it on a regular basis.
But either migraines or an involuntary nap or both do seem like a nearly inevitable part of therapy. At least if I really am present at therapy. I theorize sometimes that opening the doors to the most vulnerable part of myself requires some self hypnosis that causes those things.
If I were a good girl, I'd change the appointments as late as possible. But I tend to like him better in the mornings, before he's all tired out.
Goodness. I think that means my therapist/mommy is a morning person. My father used to sing "Oh how I hate to get up in the morning!" in extra loud and cheerful tones as I dragged myself out of bed and shot daggers with my eyes and mumbled invective. I am NOT a morning person.
