Hi @Fluttershy1
Small children can get very clingy and needy when we need time to think about something - I went through this stage with my children - I think they pick up from our body-language that we are preoccupied.
How many small children do you have and how old are they? When they are little I think they cue into the way we are feeling and if we are okay they get on with their own interests - they certainly can tell if we have something on our minds
I always tried to do everything that was important when my son was at Day Care, Kinder or School - and if I hadn't got dinner ready to cook he seemed to know and would go through his emotions - and I know if you have little ones at home all day this has to be a challenge - for you and for them actually
So - today you found it hard to express your feelings in your session - you were stuck I am sure - between what you wanted to say - needed to say - or how to answer the therapist. It's actually very interesting to me - I often found it a good idea to work out the main problem before the sessions - and that main problem would be different every time of course - I understand that - and it can change mid-session - and sometimes the therapist wants to discuss something else. That can be mysterious because after all - are we not there to talk about OUR thoughts and feelings, emotions and bothers
It seems you need a good cry - do your kids go down for a nap this afternoon? That would be a good time for you to shed the tears that are in the way right now and sort your self out - it's a struggle
I wish you the best today and hope you feel better later - maybe take the kids out for a short walk - depending on your local lock-down restrictions
All the best
Dec
