Hi to all,

Ever since I switched to a Cognitive Behavioral Psychologist, I've had major improvements in all areas of my life. However, for me it's incredibly anxiety provoking to talk about all of the things that cause me anxiety, and that I don't know (or believe) that I can control. I really enjoyed going to my psychodynamic therapists, since I got all of this attention and pity -- quite rewarding but quite unproductive.

I really don't want to disappoint my therapist, either, which makes me feel pressured to quickly get and stay well. I've started to dread going, since the whole time I'm just trying not to cry (because I've done it so much already).

Basically I feel like dwelling on my anxiety in therapy is needlessly exacerbating it, since it makes me feel less in control of it... Anyone else have a similar experience?

I don't know, but it seems like I'm to a point where if I can stop focusing on it, I don't experience it as much. But then sometimes it comes back, so I just don't know what I should do at this point.
