I have problems sleeping the night before too  I don't think it's excitement... Just fear. Even when I'm there, I speak softly and quickly. I jumble my words. I'm not usually like that. I'm articulate etc. |
Hi Crash&burn,
I think it is understandable for people to experience some level of nervousness before a session, even just from wondering how it will go etc I know I definately experience it just before I walk into my session and I actually really cherish my therapy time and my Therapist, so I often wonder why I feel nervous beforehand.
Your anxiety does seem to be very high however and I am concerned that you find her so "intimidating". What is it that you find intimidating?
I also think that the level of anxiety is possibily increased due to only having a session every 4-5 weeks as it means that in between sessions you have lost connection with her and aren't really getting the opportunity to get used to her; So even though you feel that you should be ok with her as it's been over a year, techniqualy thats only maybe 10-12 sessions ina year which have been very spread out.
I am also a bit concerned that if you have such fear surrounding the sessions if you are actually benefiting from them at the moment?
sending you hugs and comfort
