After a long absence like this from my T, I have found that, yes, I fall apart just before I finally get to see her. For me, it's a natural. I would have held so many feelings inside, and Iknew just how long I had to wait, and I could wait just that long, and not that little bit longer until the actual appointment.
I was always very proud that I could hold it together, but like you I wondered why it fell apart at the end.
I think of my kids when they were little and I'd pick them up at preschool. Teacher woud say they had been great, no problems, etc. We live behind that school, just a very short walk, and invariably, day after day, they couldn't even make it home that short distance, without having a major meltdown, crying and/or screaming. They'd held in their day until Mom get there and then they let me have it, because they knew it was safe with Mom.
That's kind of how I see it with these types of situations. We hold it in until we don't have to, and then it pours out.
Good luck!
