I've been seeing a CBT therapist for awhile now- longer than I care to admit... And the feeling's the same!
I don't get intimidated usually, or anxious. My days for anxiety attacks are few now, thankfully... Except on a bad day. Which gratefully are becoming slightly fewer as time goes by.
However, I swear, the night before I go to her? I'm debilitated. I can't function. I dream about it at night... And then in the morning, I can't eat because I'm THAT anxious. I'm usually very numb- I don't feel anything, ever.
Even when I get there, sometimes I'm filled with trepidation! I don't know!!
No one has ever intimidated me that much.
It's such a new feeling...
And even after a session, I need to go home & sleep before I could function again!!
Argh!
