Therapy tomorrow. I plan to go in and say, "Clearly we need to talk more about my relationship with my mother, because that is consistently the topic that kicks me in the teeth when it comes up and I'm always surprised and mute. But today I have to meet some friends immediately after this session, so I need you to keep an eye on the time and give me some warning and wind-down before the end of the session, because I can't deal with a social obligation while I'm fighting off tears."
Look at me, setting boundaries and asking for help!
....seriously, though, last session knocked me out, emotionally, for days. If that happens again, I am not sure how much my life can go on autopilot while I Deal.
