I have those sometimes. Well, maybe not exactly cocktail party, but superficial enough I get a little worried and frustrated. Especially since I have those precious 2 hours per month of actually hearing his voice... Ours may be more like "buddies shooting the breeze," or something. I know it's different, the ways we each relate to our therapists, but I relate to the fact it isn't therapy. My T. doesn't help stop it much, unless I periodically remind him to help - he enjoys it too much. Which is really nice - just not therapy.
I think I have a love-hate attitude toward superficial sessions. I wish I could have parallel realities - in one I'd have straight therapy every single time, go deep and feel something was more healed, and in the other reality, we'd just talk to have fun :-)
