I like my therapist. My therapist is really hard core into CBT. The therapist was also getting a bit of my background and family's background. I'm really hopeful.
My first exercise is to practice being "mindful".
When I start getting anxious about something to sit back and take a deep breath and realize it is just a thought that I will dwell on. When I take a deep breath-be mindful that I am in the present. That is basically the best I can describe it. I'm going to continue to practice to see how it goes.
I'm sharing these hoping that maybe it might be able to help others also. We at PC need to stick together.
