I'm of the thinking that it's okay to throw yourself into work occasionally as a productive way to deal with our angst. Don't beat yourself for that. Everyone needs a way to "escape" and work is a healthy choice as long as you are not working 80+ hours each and every week. And it sounds like this new fellowship is exciting and challenging and bring new life to your work day. That's all good, good, good.
Remember, sometimes when we learn a new dance step it takes practice to get it just right. Maybe you are moving forward into therapy with more complicated dance moves so it is going to take more than a few sessions before you are dancing smoothly again.
My T would say that it makes perfect sense that we feel like falling apart within their office walls. They become our emotional center (especially the more we go per week). Let him catch you if you are falling. It's okay to indulge yourself in this hurt. It's still fresh. It wants your attention. Don't worry about how often you go. I understand. I question myself as well. But I know I am gathering strength, moving forward, even if it's at a snail's pace.
I'm sorry things are volatile at home. It does make everything else seem more difficult. Darn those husbands.
