At my last session, T asked me to move and sit somewhere else - I said that felt too hard and scarey T said "Go on just try" in a gentle encouraging voice......so I took a deep breath and did it!

Wow- it was so weird seeing T literally from a different perspective, a bit freaky, but also something in me shifted, like I had escaped that person I became when I always sat in the same place to the right on him. So from my experience these "risks" can so so scarey to push into, but I certainly learnt alot from my "recklessness"

Sometimes I think of anxiety as a sealed tin with no label - I don't know what is in there - it may be something useful, but I just don't know. The more I wonder, the more my imagination has time to work and conjure up all sorts of things that may be in there (usually goblins and bogey men)- but the only way we ever really know for sure is by opening it up and having a good look and if we have T next to us when we do that, all will be OK.

Hugs to you Squiggles - have faith in your T - Soup
