Therapy, session 4
My fourth session was a total fucking blur. Part of the reason why I haven't been keeping up on the therapy posts is that I really have no clue what we talked about in session #4. I left her office thinking the session only lasted about 10 minutes, and for the life of me, I couldn't remember what we talked about by the time I got to the building's stairway.
I know we talked about a bunch of topics, but I feel like none were of any real substance, and nothing got enough focus to stick in my short-attention-span brain.
The upside of this is that I've since started bringing a notebook with me. After each session, I sit on a park bench outside her office and write down as much about the session as I can remember. The process feels just like the way I used to try and take notes in the morning after a dream; I sit there furiously scribbling notes as fast as I can write before the synapses evaporate.

That is so smart! I think I'll start doing that, too. Some sessions feel like they cover SO much ground that my head is spinning afterward.

Wouldn't it be easier to bring an audio recorder to record the whole session?
heather: it really helps me keep track of what I need to take away from each session, and I like being able to look back at past sessions too.
mig: it would, but I'm not sure if that's kosher. s'pose I could ask.
