LT,
It depends to a large extent on what you are trying to get out of therapy. If your problem is that you find it difficult to be intimate in your relationships, then perhaps what you feel about your relationship with your T may be more relevant than what you did that week at work. However, for most of us, if our workplace burned down that day, it would be worth bringing this fact up during the session and would be weird if you didn't. Usually it is not such a good thing if therapy ignores either your inner or outer lives altogether, and over-emphasis on either can be a means to avoid working on what really needs to be addressed in your therapy. Do you feel your therapy is addressing the problems you want it to deal with?
