I have had several sessions where I leave feeling weird, strange, not myself, not connected to the world... ect. It doesn't happen every time, not even most the time. Most the time there is something in session that happens, sometimes there's not. I just leave and feel weird.

I don't drink afterwards except maybe one time. I walk about 4 miles home after session so I have a lot of time to think or I put on an audiobook to keep the noise in my head silent.

I find that when I have these sessions.. things are shifting for me; so I see them as good things, even when they feel scary, uncomfortable, or just unsettling.

I do find that the first 24-36 hours after a session, good or bad, are the hardest for me as I crave more time with t, the safety of the space, and the comfort of someone walking with me, holding/containing me.
