Thanks, Emmanuel.
I typed a long answer and apparently sent it to the wrong link or otherwise lost it.
All I can say is that it is very complicated with me, but I am absolutely certain that my sessions are productive and salvific for me too. I long to be in session so badly that I over-prepare for it.
I feel like I need to share all of the hurts and pains that gather all week, to bring them to him so he can make them better, can share them with me. But as they accumulate, I begin to be overwhelmed by them, to the point that after 7 days, I can no longer even focus on one. And then I come to the session and am frozen in the overwhelmedness of all of them. I think if we met twice a week-- like every 3 or 4 days, this wouldn't happen as badly. I really, really think I have nailed part of my problem with this. I am still not sure we will be able to meet that often.We meet tomorrow morning and then he is gone for 10 more days on another trip.
But my sessions DO make me feel better. They are essential to me.
