If you expect to feel better in any sense (relieved, released, whatever), then you're expecting the session to go well. Maybe you can draw some strength & comfort from that. If you can believe it'll be worth it, perhaps a bit of the dread will lessen.
I've been there. Your posting has brought it all back. For me, it was well worth struggling thru--took me a few days to get it tho. I'll be thinking of you.  |
Not sure how it will feel after. Never thought of this discussion ever taking place. Thinking back to the time that I had to discuss a suicide attempt, there was no relief after the session. It pushed me back into deeper depression and more sleeplessness. That time I did not have the dread because it came up in a session and I was able to go over that event. It was even a calm discussion. When this thing came up at my last session, everything locked. I just could not discuss it so he scheduled the upcoming appointment just for this.
I dread this and am so beat.
The last few sentences in your post mean a lot. Thanks.
