I do this EVERY time. Anxiously awaiting the session, yet within hours of my appointment, I am scared to death! The panic starts as soon as I begin to walk up the stairs to her office.

When I go in and sit on the couch, they eye aerobics begin. What are eye aerobics? When you do everything you can NOT to look your therapist in the eye. Look at walls, the floor, out the window, the ceiling, etc......We kinda make a joke of it now. I tell her, "Okay, I am going to look at you now." It sounds ridiculous, but I really do have to force myself to look at her when we start our session.

I am not sure why the anxiety is so high before an appointment. I wish I knew how to stop it! I have been going almost a year now. I feel like I should be past this.
