Hi Wishingstar,
Sounds like it was a hard one. I don't get why a T asking if we have anything more to say is bordering on *asking them to do the work.* Though I guess if I were any good at therapy I'd just be able to blurt everything out and my T would never have to probe, fish or try to coax it out of me. Sorry, I'm in my therapy failure mode these days.
If you're worried that you won't give what you've written to Ginny, just hand it right to her at the beginning of the session. Don't put it in your purse, just keep it in your hand. That's what I do. Unless it's something I want her to read, but I don't want to be there when she reads it then I put it next to me on the love seat or sticking out underneath my purse on the floor. My T will usually ask if it's something I'll be leaving with her. Then I can drop it and dash or change my mind and not give it to her at all.
I hope Ginny doesn't abandon you, she does seem to understand why you have that fear, which is good. You are really trying and Ginny should see that, especially if you write things down for her to read. At least for me writing to my T is much easier than talking to my T.
My T knows about babble and has promised to never come here and spy on me. She thinks it's a positive thing that I have online support and online friends.
