I seem to always get Pre-session nerves....one day before, two days before....it creates alot of worrying, My chest is heavy just thinking about it. I have been going since april of 2008 and im not sure why this is still happening?

I am with you there. I find myself thinking about therapy and as the time get closer I get so anxious. Don't have a clue why. My T is so supportive and there for me. This week the nervousness has been more intense. So I will keep busy the day of my therapy and take a deep breath before I walk in and pray that I will be open (as much as I can). I also remind myself it is only 1hr. and I can leave at any time. (not that I would leave early) I really wish I could be more relaxed and trusting with my T. Hang in there you are not alone. Therapy is a good thing.

I get that too.

What do you think is worrying you exactly??

I know what you mean, I get very nervous on the way to her office, and even more as I'm sitting in the waiting room. Ugh..

I've been getting this too lately. It's nothing to do with T....honestly, she's the only thing that calms me down about therapy. I think for me it has more to do with some of the things that we might potentially discuss in sessions...it creates a lot of anxiety.

i wish i could tell ya, its just the one on one thing that makes me nervous...the fact that shes listening to every word i say....idk. usually i can walk away from a situation like this, but im putting myself into it....I dont mind going, but all the stuff building up to it...like having to bury my head in a magazine right before hand really makes nervous to thinkkk about

I pace up and down outside T's waiting room - he often has to come out and get me lol

I totally get nervous the day of my session! It has gotten somewhat easier with time, but it still happens, right up until my T calls me into her office. I've discussed this anxiety with my T, she says that it means the process is working.

I really dont like talking about stuff like that with T...esp stuff concerning her...its awkward for me...because even though i see her alot, i dont feel close to her enough to do that stuff....we have a connection, but not a good/close one

My close connection with my T came FROM talking to him about my relationship with him. SO not an easy topic to bring up!! But it can be worth it, if you are in the right type of therapy (for example, I have NO IDEA if it's something that is worked on in CBT)

I always get pre session nerves. At first it was because I didn't know what therapy was supposed to be like...would she believe I was depressed, etc.

Now it's more like I am nervous because I am about to let her into my private world. There is some icky stuff in there!

Hypomanic me before a session was HILARIOUS!!!! I was so full of extra energy I thought I was going to burst. I was sitting crosslegged in a chair, with my head back and taking huge deep breaths so I could remotely focus on anything....
