So after multiple delays, I finally had my first session today. It was pretty good. Felt a little tense going into it, but once things got started I was fine, other than having to interact one-on-one with the person sitting next to you. It was good though, because I'm not good with small talk, and found I can actually start up a conversation with a complete stranger, and hold their attention for more than a few seconds.

First session was mostly an introduction to what we'll be doing over the next 2 months. We were taught breathing exercises & relaxation techniques, as well as the importance of journalling, so we can keep track of our progress.

It was two hours. All in all, it was a positive experience. I won't say I look forward to going again next week, but I'm not dreading it, now that I know what to expect.
