See ... that's the difference. My t would ask "forget what?" - - but it would come from a place of wanting to make sure we were on the same page, than of forgetting about me or my specific stories.
After I posted, I said to myself, "Self - don't say 'fine' tell her it was good some days and sad and hard and angry others."
So I will definitely try to uncover those honest feelings and not run away from them. I am typically her first client on Monday mornings so I feel responsible not to be heavy and depressing on her first hour back at work. I know when I return from a vacation, I don't want to hear about any problems for at least an hour or two.
I know, I know, that's not my responsibility.
You also came home to a ton of WORK and STRESS so the need to be supported and heard grows ... that part that says "Help me" and who better to help than our therapists ... at least they can tell us it's going to be okay and we will get through it all.
