After not having a T for almost a month, I was finally able to get in to see T2 this past week. I was nervous to start out with because (a) he is a "he" T (I feel more comfortable with a female T) and (b) it felt as if I was starting all over again ... and I was bursting at the seams with "issues" and I didn't want to run into the door just talking my head off to a complete stranger.

So, it's been a few days since the session, and I am still letting the dust settle, but
I've been all over the spectrum since our meeting:

Saturday afternoon, I felt horrible and left feeling like a huge weight was dumped on me (imagine Ms. Potato Head)
Saturday night, I felt afraid.
Sunday morning/afternoon, I over-thought things and then felt paranoid / suspicious.
Sunday evening, I felt clearer on what was "bothering me" and more comfortable with the idea of addressing it.
This morning, I wrote to a friend about it and shared my thoughts about bringing up the issue.
This afternoon, it doesn't seem as important and I don't care.
Right this second, I am just looking forward to going back, but I have no idea what I am going to talk about.

I've never been this way with a T before. For as wacky as it sounds, I may just be making more progress.

Has this happened to you? What did you do?

I can totally identify with this post!! It happens to me a lot. Our brains are really weird, weird things arent they??

From what my Ts have said, its quite normal. I think its something to do with us processing the information in our minds during the week ... its the way we process it i think.

((((Kazza)))) thank you. I honestly have never felt this way with any other T. It is odd to me that I have been going through all of this...on the other hand I did not know about and was working through a specific (proper) Dx before

Thanks again,
Rose

Awe, rose (hugs) it's absolutely normal! Most of the hard work is. Done between sessions when we realise things and think everything over- a million times! And it's normal to bring up old emotions and feelings! I know it sucks but it's helps to talk about it! Do something nice for yourself x

((((Button)))) you are such a dear xx
