I'm glad your mom wasn't around. And I'm really glad you didn't hold back (too much anyway) and had a good talk with your therapist. And I'm super glad that you "have" to call her...I think a check in is a good thing.
I know what you mean about those emotional sessions setting off this wave of neediness. I hate that! But I think it is because talking about this stuff is traumatic in and of itself and we all need comfort after a trauma. Even little ones. One of the ways we process trauma is to talk about it. And if the session is a little trauma, then we want to talk about it. And who can we talk about it with? Our therapist! And so goes the circle. I tend to babble a lot after really emotional sessions, or I go looking for my on-line friends because I can be really honest with them. I think this is why I've decided morning sessions are not really for me. I'm too open and vulnerable afterwards to go back to work and be "the boss." Better to go back in the afternoon when it is quiet and I can keep to myself more.
Write a lot. We are here. Do you have internet access while you are away?
