we opened up with a deadline... couples therapy was ending. anyone else feel that pressure

our therapist in bristol had been working with us for 8 months on intimacy stuff. we'd talked about opening up in there for months but always abstractly. then the therapist said 'we're wrapping up in 4 weeks'. suddenly there was this weird pressure to either do it while we still had a safety net or never. we booked our first hotel night the week before our final session and i remember thinking we're doing this on a deadline like its a school project. it actually went great and we're 2 yrs in but the pressure was unpleasant. would not recommend opening up with an artificial deadline tbh. anyone else have a forced timeline situation
