Do you have any rituals to help you out after therapy, or towards the end of therapy? I have a few that help me get back into real life mode. Sometimes they work better than others.
People have talked about visualizing using a box to contain the feelings. I usually get a splitting headache and keel over into a nap after an emotional session. After regular ones, I have some relaxation techniques.
Have you asked your therapist to teach you some things that will make it easier? Mine didn't address it directly, but our first work was with anxiety and relaxation techniques, so indirectly he gave me the tools I needed to cope between therapy.
