Avoidance

Had a session yesterday, didn't talk about much...just the issues with little ones dad and working etc She asked why I haven't been writing bits and sending pre session, like I normally did. Said she thinks it's my avoidance and she's right. It's partly because I felt like I was OK and partly because I want to keep it that way. I don't want to rock the boat, if you know what I mean. I think I'm doing what's best for myself, in the moment but I don't know how good it is now because I felt like I wasted a session. Like I need to talk to her again. I've had a tearful morning, couldn't tell you why....well, I could....it's because I'm not talking or dealing with anything 🙄🙄
 
1. 3 cheers on her calling you on it.

2. A GREAT way to flank this issue is to have your next session be ABOUT avoidance; when it’s useful, when it’s not, coping strategies, work-arounds, tips & tricks, etc.. As avoidance is BOTH a symptom and a coping mechanism, it gets complex. And is sooooo worth exploring on its own merits.
