The last 2 days before my session are always the hardest
It seems like they take forever to go by. I get so anxious thinking about it especially since I have started to open up and let my guard down. Does anyonelse struggle before session?

I've found that with time those two days before the appointment have got easier.

you are not alone, I feel the same! You're very brave to open up. It is worth the risk!

Use too. But now 11yrs into my therapy the days between sessions are just that, days between.

These days, I actually have most of my trouble right after. I have a really difficult time opening up about the stuff I bring up in therapy, then i have an even harder time putting it all away again. Though if I'm about to meet a t for the first time, the days before are very anxiety provoking...

A couple days before therapy I'm excited to go - but like ThisWayOut I have the hardest time a couple days after therapy.

The entire time between sessions is hard. It's like I'm always counting down the hours until my next session. I feel like I'm too dependent on T.

The first 2 days after session are the hardest. That one hour with my T provides me with so much support and comfort, so I miss it the most right afterwards. The next 3 days I'm fine. I can usually go about my day so long as there are no major stressors. This works out great for my T because these 3 days happens to be her weekend, so she doesn't have to worry about me. The last 2 days, for some reason, I tend to not want to see her. I have no clue why. But then as soon as I have my session with her, everything is okay.

I see my T twice a week, so the most I go is 3 days. I guess not enough time to really feel a void.
