Hi El,
I remember when I first entered therapy it was almost sacred, to discover that kind of wise and deep and non-punitive listening. I have no ideas what labels were first applied, other than anxiety, which I knew. But I know I must've talked for 100 hours before I knew her last name... (kidding).
I remember too that it felt private. To build my sense of trust with the therapist, I needed to truly respect and have a boundary around that hour. I think that sense of Mine All Mine, in the sense that it was about my healing first and last (and to entertain others' curiosity not at all) was important. With a couple close friends I did share insights from certain sessions--sometimes a ton of it--but it was understood between all of us that it was up to the therapee (as opposed to the manatist) to bring it up.
All I'm saying is that I hope you won't feel obligated to report on therapy sessions here or anywhere if you need some time to let it become your own private healing relationship.
Hope you keep on posting and keep sharing or asking whatever you want to, though.
Hope that made sense!
Hops
