…and when I took out a coin to pay the parking metre just before my last therapy session – having worried all the way there about the fact I hadn’t planned what I was going to talk about – it said this:
Which is bang on the money, I’d say.

Indeed it is 🙂 It was brought out to celebrate the centenary of the scouting movement, whose motto is ‘be prepared’…..

That’s excellent. Sometimes I find the unprepared session can be the most powerful, but I still like to get my 50mins worth with a prioritised agenda 😉

I’m on my way now and I’m really worried I don’t have enough on my agenda and there will be lots of awful silences!

No chance of silences with my therapist!

Sometimes I think it might be fun and instructive (if rather brain-bending and emotion-twisting) to swap therapists with other bloggers/friends I know, for a session or two! I feel I get to know (and sometimes envy!) people’s therapists a little bit, and sometimes I could definitely do with a therapist who fills up my silences! However, I can see that if it happened all the time, it might become just as difficult as the opposite, and having a therapist who leaves silences much of the time!
