From talk therapy, I tend to walk out, feeling like I've just had a thought provoking conversation. Because, I realize about myself, it can take a day or two, for each session to sink in.
I'll not soon forget the day I had talk therapy and a pdoc appointment with an hour in between. I was exhausted, by virtue of both were 'heavy' appointments.
Maybe, off track here, maybe not; When I first began seeing my pdoc, I could see his previous patient, making her next appointment. I tend, to look, that way, in that office, as indicative of whether I'm about to be called in next. She was smiling, seemed happy, genuinely happy/content. I felt, at that point in my life, this is a good place for me, to be, right now. Hopeful, I good get to that place, too. I was, on the fence, about meds, knew it wasn't necessarily meds for that patients seeming contentment, but it alleviated a lot of fear I had.

I cannot say I'm always smiling coming out of therapy. Sometimes, in thought, mulling things over. Usually, smiling, after both, talk therapy or psychiatry, because I've regained my joie de vie.
