Well If I could get answers based on your experiences that would be great. I just dont want to waste another time half in tears over my sui thoughts.
Thanks

it took some time for me Clinte...and I'm not surprised, I'm still locked up pretty tight!
arriving at sessions on the 'back foot' ...nervous extremely random and likely to dis-engage the person (cos it really is just a person)... the person wanting to help me. they also have bad functioning days so it's not all up to you.
it would be so much easier if they came to us telling us what our problems were and how it was upsetting them just how upset we couldn't explain we are!
one day I shook my head a bit as I do sometimes and decided to straight out ask ..."how can
I make the most of these sessions? they are so short and far apart a week is like a year psychologically.
can you help me?
so often I let the poor therapy people sit there trying to guess and also unscramble my chit chat...if only I just coulda said..."hey today I'm gonna be all over the place chit chat scrambled and impossible"
..."I don't want to walk outa' here worse than I walked in"
