Bizi—thanks for asking. I forgot to come back here. My meds make me an air head.
She didn’t react at all to the internet problem. So I tried explaining it again, and she then said it was good that I am distracting myself from my anxiety!!
I think I didn’t quite explain it well enough. I’ll try again next week.
She gave me some DBT exercises, but I only picked things she knows. I don’t like to do. I bought DBT books to look at, and I’m listening to videos.
She told me to replace negative thoughts with positive ones. Instead of my boss hates me (she’s been criticizing me), I’m to think my boss is trying to help me.
I had to interrupt her interviewing me to ask for helpful tips. Last time she interviewed me the whole time, then only told me to deep breathe.
My last therapist was the same way—making me talk almost the whole time and then I get little help.
