the idea of time frame still at times drives me up a wall while in therapy. One thing thats help is my present therapy has her clock at her view but not mine. I know she didn't do this intentionally its just where the clock got hung most likely by the past theraist that used the room. But Im glad its like that because I cant see the clock so I am not constantly looking at it going "only this much time left hurry up and talk already". My first three appointments with my present therapist my past therapist went with me. when she didn't come anymore I was stuck trying to figure out how to talk to her. So I started bringing in my journals and we talked about how much I like to journal and other things to help myself. That was good for an ice breaker but still there were times when Im sitting there trying to figure out what to say. Ok time to bring in some of my drawing for her to see. I always carry something to pull out of my back pack be it drawings, journals, projects, workbook exercises I did that week and so on. The Depression Workbook and the book Mind Over Mood are great books to start with. Good luck and take care.
