Yes Alisha88, I have had the same challenges. I can also be very tired after therapy and for a couple of days after therapy.

Give yourself time to rest, make sure you work on "self soothing" too. It takes time to develope good self soothing skills, but give it time because it is the self soothing that helps so much.

I have been gaining on the ability to help my mind let go of constantly thinking and problemsolving and just to relax and float. I have learned to tell myself that I do not have to be overwhelmed and I "can" let go and relax. I find it very, very helpful.
