Does anyone have any suggestions for getting your brain ready for a therapy session? I go in and 5 minutes before it's time to wrap up I'm just warming up and ready to hit the big stuff. Very frustrating . How do you warm up that other side of your brain before going in ?

i journal about what i want to talk about

Writing before hand about any thoughts, ideas, emotions, events ect. that I want discussed. I choose which ones are more important and bring them up pretty early in session and try to keep on track with what I want to talk about and not get lost in what my T says back to me in response.

Sat in the parking lot after... tried to capture as much on paper that I'd like to follow up while it was fresh. Went home, wrote some more. Next day, refined the notes. I'm going to try to use them next week.

The actual prep for something with ADD is simple. Leave at the last minute and panic a bit. The adrenaline starts going and you're a bit more focused.

Problem is, if you don't time things exactly right, you end up running out of that stress high right as the appointment begins.

I do journal, T also has me email the topics to her so she can push me along. I'm great at writing but it just takes me most of the session before I'm in that zone. Maybe I need two hour sessions or something

If you can afford a longer session then i'd say go for it secretworld. I've had longer sessions and they were so fruitful... much more relaxed in pace and i got a lot more out of them.
