Sometimes the emotional release from a really good, dense therapy session is just… The whole body feels it. Something has been unblocked and is moving… but there is no fucking way I’m going to be able to do much else today. I arranged to meet up with a friend tonight, I would’ve asked for a rain check if it weren’t for the fact that I will probably have to give back the car in 6 days and I might not see her again for another 3 weeks until I finish housesitting, and all things considered it’s better for me to stay connected in person. (I don’t need to cook anything at least as I’ll be heating up premade food).
Think I’ll lie down and nap for a while - I feel like I’m giving into maladaptive procrastination by giving myself permission to put off everything else till tomorrow, including work.
But: it’s nothing mission critical, nobody else is relying on me for it, and I need to remember that nobody is going to be severely damaged by my doing that. On balance, this is a wise and intelligent and responsible thing to do given the bigger picture. Good afternoon. 💤
I love those sessions. It’s nourishing for the soul. And the feeling usually lingers (at least it does for me) for a while, unlike a run-of-the-mill session which often just feels like a tune up. Having a session where things just seem to click… yeap, that shit is top notch.
