So how was your last therapy session?
I just got back from mine, it was great (as usual) didn’t have to wait at all, we went through all the things I’m going through at the moment, she told me how proud she was about how well I was handling things. We did spend all of our time with my current issues, didn’t have time to go into my past, but we do need to deal with the current issues to keep things from getting out of hand. I went in feeling OK, and left feeling really good. ![]()

My last session was actually pretty light. I've been dealing with some really heavy things recently, including the death of my mother, so I needed a session that wasn't particularly deep. I think it was productive in that T learned a lot of my history that he wasn't aware of till now.

With the exception of that little incident I posted about it was a very nice session. It was a beautiful day for a walk. I engaged the entire session. T was proud of my progress and positive attitude for the first time in weeks. He was so glad my meds are balanced some, and encouraged me to stay on track. He was supportive and we laughed and had a good session.

My last session with T was actually pretty good! I was actually going to post about it at some point this week. I left feeling like T really got some of my issues. That we finally found most of the roots of my issues with anxiety and we both have a clearer understanding of where we need to go. I like my T alot.. I got a good one!

My session was more like an introduction, like the letter that I wrote introduced her to me the real me. She had a lot of questions for me. It's funny I'm kick and screaming as she gains my trust but she already has it. Me it's hard to gain but never lost, lets hope she can figure out this maze I call my mind because I can't. I am sooooo not happy with these turn of events.

Mine this week went really well too. I felt SO good when I left. I had done a lot of work on my own in the days prior and dumped a LOT of stuff on her that there was no WAY to even begin dissecting in one session. I don't know how she did it but we somehow covered it all in an overview kind of way that left me feeling ready to start tackling it all one piece at a time. She made it seem not so overwhelming. I

I agree!
People are much more likely to post after a bad session than after a good one, and a casual observer might get the idea that therapy was nothing but woe.

My session was a good one, we are starting to work on body image, so lots of talk about mirrors. And how when you are obsessed about something that's all you think about. My T asked me to look at my little finger as an example, then she asked me to describe it, in detail, then watched what I did, I became obsessed with my little finger in that session to the point that I had to sit on my hands as I couldn't concentrate, which made us both laugh, me sat there on my hands, so I couldn't look at my little finger.

It was deep and intense. I opened up for once, and I feel really good about the support T gave me.

Intense. But a good intense. I think that some good, basic things got talked about.

The session was fine, but it was triggering. Very triggering. It seems to have thrown me into a depressive episode. I am not thrilled.

I posted about it in my last thread, but basically it was tough to hear what she had to say but it was a good session. There was a lot of directness and honesty on her part, which I appreciated. I'm looking forward to the next session, though getting sad as the end approaches.

There were a lot of words used in my last session. A realisation of how little words were used in any productive way growing up. Oh there was lots of talking, but it was mainly judgemental non explainative language. I dunno suddenly I became aware of how much talking can defuse fear and anger and make them into more manageable chunks

Mine went great. Too short! In the last 10 minutes, we talked about our relationship, which is rare for us. We shared that we are deeply appreciative of the other. I booked a longer session for next time. I need some catch up time.

i would rate it an 7, maybe even 8. i was scared going in and left feeling safe. there were somethings i didn't tell him, i don't know why, mostly afraid of judgment. i even hide myself from him as much as possible. kinda like he has to listen to all the bad stuff coming from me, he shouldn't have to look at me. i go again next week so maybe i will feel safe enough to share some of this stuff.
