An anticlimactic session.
Today was a bit below par. My therapist admitted that he was feeling bored, as I told him my own ideas about DSM improvements. I hadn't really prepared for the session, and didn't have anything on my mind. And his efforts to guide me to something more interesting were... uninteresting and repetitive. He always wants to ask me how I'm getting along with my mother. Since we're both avoiding each other right now, there's just not that much to talk about.
I asked him if bad sessions regularly follow great ones, because I thought last session was terrific. He admitted that he had thought of our last session this morning as he saw I was scheduled today, and he thought it was a great one too. Because I took the initiative, he said. And I acknowledged.
Still....
I have to say there's some improvement to talking together about what a flat session it was than racking my brains to think of something to say.
This talking about what is going on in the room can be a nice change from what's going on in the room.
