I have been seeing my therapist for years and I still get anxiety before sessions. I used to get anxiety because I was nervous about working with her in the beginning but now its due to the intense, difficult topics I am discussing. I think some anxiety before sessions is normal. My anxiety gets a lot better when I am sitting in the room with her. I trust her and feel very safe with her. My T also can see when I am anxious and calms me down with breathing excersises and tells me that I am safe and its safe to talk with her. It works every time.
