Thanks for the thoughts everyone. And no, driving was not a concern.

Word. It is curious that it seems like there's a lot more judgment assigned to one rather than the other isn't it, when they both can have similar effects? I don't currently have an Rx for those things, though I'm sure I could get one if I wanted as anxiety has always been an issue for me. Maybe some day I will.

Well, if you wanted to toss out a couple I wouldn't say no. I have the vague feeling that it's a no-no, but I can't quite get my head around why it would be so bad. Because it's deceptive if you don't disclose? Maybe...but I'm sure she doesn't disclose some things to me sometimes. Because it would be better to just tell her I'm feeling anxious and discuss that instead? Of course, but if that's not an option, if I'm too anxious to communicate, then this allows me to continue communicating and getting toward that point. And this opens up the option of discussing the anxiety more later as I'm sure I will tell her at some point. Because you might grow dependent on this coping mechanism? I know me pretty well and this is just not one of my issues. Because she would feel bad that she hadn't really done her job if I was assisted in opening up (like a comedian feeling like the laughs weren't really earned if the audience is tanked)? Maybe. But as she always says, it's my hour. I can do with it what I like and what I think will help me best.

Thanks again for the thoughts. I'm not advocating it for anyone and I'll probably never do it again. But it went well and helped me accomplish what I wanted to during that session, so overall I'm pleased. If there's any fallout when I eventually do disclose, I will update then.
