Last session with my t she noticed I was very fidgety. She wants me to become aware when I'm like this. I tend to play with my hair and talk to myself. I'm not doing it right now because I am thinking about what I am doing.

My T never says anything like practice mindfulness or other new age things of the sort....if this is considered new age.

My T has her own way of doing things in my sessions. I'm out walking on my days off. Sometimes twice in the three days I'm off. I'm becoming more verbal/vocal as well. This November will be one full year I have been seeing my T. I already have my own house, a new pdoc....I don't have to rely on the va anymore. I stayed with the va for a long time and I wasn't very happy with them.

How do you guys become self aware or practice mindfulness? Are there any short reads about self awareness/mindfulness that someone can suggest? Sometimes I have a problem being here and now. I have been catching myself better lately.
