didn’t have an outstanding therapy session today, but it wasn’t bad, either. I think I need to see her a couple more times before I’ll be sure how I feel.

We talked about very basic stuff - her background, HIPAA information, and an abbreviated version of the things in my life that have caused me to seek therapy.

As it happened, I was having a pretty good day (mental health/sanity), and I told her so. I know my sanity looked pretty good today; but I also know (from past experience) that the bad, crazy feelings always come back. I explained about that. I also explained the trick I think my mind plays on me - where I start looking for things to be upset about so I can justify coming to therapy.

She showed me two exercises for anxiety that I already know, and we set up another appointment for two weeks from now.
