Hi pinksoil

I don't take the Xanax on a regular basis but on an as-needed basis. Because I think honesty is crucial to therapy , I told the T about taking the Xanax. There's nothing wrong with taking it but it does speak to the level of discomfort about therapy or something in the therapy or therapist at that time that mademe to choose to use the benzo for that session.

It is part of the honesty and my belief that 'everything is important' in therapy that I told her. Also since part of my therapy goal is to learn to cope with the things that create anxiety for me and to be med-free, disclosing that I took it was part of the process in my situation.

So, no right or wrong, just where I was coming from.
