I have a chronic illness and have been so ill and so tired this week. This weeks session, my T was talking about if I get a respite from the illness, to try to change my life by getting healthy with exercise, other things, blah, blah...versus medications which have really screwed me up.
I dont know what happened but his soothing voice started to hypnotize me, my eyes grew heavy, and they closed for a few minutes. I heard him say, " I put her to sleep and I didn't even know it" I told him later that he should be flattered. That I have never fallen asleep sitting in a chair, let alone with someone talking to me. That I must feel very safe with him,
and that his voice is comforting to me. Also, an indication of how exhausted I truly am.
Earlier on in the session, his phone kept going off, there were bells and whistles and my startle reflex was in overdrive. I almost walked out. I told him that too. He said I was right, that he would make sure he turned off his phones during our sessions in the future. So I went from just about walking out from being frightened from the noise to falling asleep all in one hour. What a weird day.
