Having seen a few therapists now it appears to be common to ensure that clients are able to leave the therapy in the room at the end of the session.
Does anyone else struggle to do this?
As a person who cuts off my emotions when talking about my traumas to find the feelings hitting me after the sessions, i find it pretty impossible to leave it in the room for the week.
I have had therapy where I have spoken openly about events, left seemingly fine to spend a week in turmoil. when I tell the therapist the following week about the distress they are shocked as from their point of view it was a good session where I coped well. I know linking feelings to the therapy would help but when I try that I cant talk which is even more useless.
I would be interested on any views from therapist if there are any out there?
likewise how do others manage with keeping it in the room?
