Notes: I sat across FROM my therapist.. I’d take out usually, it really does nothing and sounds out of place.. ironically ‘I’ think of other things.. if you start with “today” and you just told us you think of other things, you should name a thought, not tell us about the session.. if you take out “today” the session stuff fits. I might say It was SUPPOSED to help me cope.. second paragraph is fine, third, i like the usually here, it’s great, but i’d change “if” to “but I was in a dark mood”.. and the ending is perfect! i think we know when the smile is fake, forced. maybe use the word forced? nice job cleaning this up! keep going!
