Dinah, do you do any homework between appointments? Like journalling, or meditating? I was just wondering if you'd been given some exercises to help keep you on that path to the emotional, authentic Dinah that you've been trying to get a handle on.
I also saw your thread earlier about whether it's worth it to pursue becoming this authentic person. It sounds like you think you'd would be doing it for others but not for yourself? Did I read that correctly? I do think that being in touch with your emotions adds another dimension to ourselves that makes life in general easier to deal with. To me it's like adding pigment to paint in order to deepen a colour on the canvas. Without that pigment, the painting would lack dimension and meaning. Does that make any sense?
Back to your original decision - I think you can do it! Going once a week for an appointment is a smart thing to do if you find you're struggling to find something to talk about. I would just see if doing an assignment between appointments would help give you continuity.
