I get very nervous before therapy. It often starts the night before, or even earlier than that. Then on the drive there, I keep getting more nervous. I listen to books on tape on the drive to try to have something to focus on. Sometimes I listen to music that gets me more in touch with my emotions, because I tend to numb out too. You might be able to use music that calms you or makes you happy. Take your time and be especially gentle with yourself on the day you go to therapy. It's hard enough already.
