many parts of herself. However she is still aware at some level of feeling very young for she
notes that she apologised for being late earlier in the session like a child arriving late for school
(lines 6 and 7). She also puts this comment in brackets which although on one level may make it
seem less important than the rest of the entry also highlights it, making it stand out from the rest.
Perhaps she is feeling very young and vulnerable in her sessions, like a child talking to a strict
teacher. She ends by noting that so much comes out of so little (line 8.). This may refer both to
the shorter length of time in that even in a shorter session than usual a lot of work was
accomplished, but it may also refer to the fact that she worked with something that seemed small
unimportant yet learned a great deal.
The interpretation again links the entry to the whole narrative which keeps it within the context
of the whole. As there is anger it might seem that it should have the category of fighting
containment-freedom. However anger is not felt in the words even though it may be implicitly
present. The desire for her and the counsellor to be the same feels most important. The fact that
an apology slipped out seemed to suggest her regression as if she was being the child who longed
to be noticed and heard. In a childlike way she made herself noticed by being late. There was a
strong sense of a lot having been accomplished as if the session felt useful. The category, desire
for containment-freedom fits with her childlike regression and with her need to keep her and the
counsellor the same.
