I really like that idea, gg. :) I was thinking of insisting we do the sessions in writing, like we had each had a tonsillectomy, but flashcards are more efficient.
Actually I'm getting a wee bit better. I think he's slowly desensitizing me. Venturing a bit here, and when I shy away pulling away any pressure. Then inserting it into what feels like casual conversation a bit later. Dropping a topic that I flatly refused to discuss, but introducing equally explicit ones that I didn't mind discussing, then meandering back to edge along the first topic.
Dang he's good.
Going every day this week was helpful because it facilitated that sort of interaction. I'm back to twice a week next week and that will be harder. He's left the door open to doing more intense work and scheduling more sessions, but I don't know that I can afford it. :(
On the other hand, we've done more intense work this past week than we've done in the entire ten years I've been seeing him. I brought in something that I wrote (Don't ask me what because I thought he'd give me back that copy and didn't keep it. It was sort of a loose associations of memories on sexual moments growing up.) He took more notes on that sheet of paper over the course of two days than I've seen him take in a normal couple of months. I sort of hate to slow the momentum.
