The anxiety definitely fades over time but what helps me is thinking about the stuff that we talked about during the previous session and remembering how good I felt after. I usually look forward to it all week and then about a couple of hours before my session I get anxious and question whether I actually want to go.

I always end up going and sometimes I just let the anxiety hit me. I'm not there to impress my T by not being anxious, I just go with however I'm feeling. The anxiety usually fades after I start the conversation because that is the only part of the session that I have full control over. After that, I generally let my T take the lead.

I think going into every session thinking about the previous one and the good feelings you had after it can really help. If you can't remember after a week, then maybe start writing down a few things right after your session that made you feel good so that you can come back to that stuff the next week.

And not all sessions will make you feel great after. But knowing and being aware of that will make it more tolerable. For me, the sessions that were hard actually ended up being my favorites because I got a lot out of them and realized that I felt really safe with my T.

I would bring it up with your T so they can help you work through those feelings. A lot of people feel that way, you're not alone
