I could never eat breakfast before therapy. I would feel sick if I did.

Count me in. there are quite a few people on the forum who do, it surprised me.

[Ellahmae]

Yup.

No, but I can quite see why people might be sick - it is a hard thing to do.

[musinglizzy]

Yes. I don't eat before therapy.

I threw up every week for the first couple of years. Now it is more intermittent.

I force myself to eat something otherwise my stomach will growl super loud during the entire session, without fail. So embarrassing, and disruptive!

[mindmechanic]

Yeah, that's normal before and after therapy as well. Sometimes the session kills your appetite.

[Chummy]

For a session with T only a little bit.
For an appointment with Pdoc a lot. I can't eat anything on that day until it's over.

I have evening appointments and I used to get terrible, ah, gastrointestinal symptoms, all day before I went. I was in the bathroom constantly.

I'm a very long-term client and it did resolve as I learned to feel safe with my T. Now I get a nervous stomach but not the same kind of stomach distress I started with.

[mindmechanic]

Yeah, it's normal to feel sick before a session. Sometimes I lose my appetite after therapy.

[Sawyerr]

Yes, every single time.

Yes, I always feel sick and nervous.

[sjkero]

i don't feel sick, but always very, very anxious. i stress and overstress about how i look knowing i'll be the focal point for an hour, and i always need a drink or two to relax before i go.

With my first therapist, yes. I was always so anxious before each appointment that i got sick. I was so afraid of what she would say or do or change that day.

Nervous, not sick. I could feel sick afterwards, when it was a really tough session.

[laxer12]

Not really but I don't really feel sick whenever I'm nervous or anxious. When I first started, I would shiver in the waiting room even though I was wearing pants and a sweatshirt so it wasn't because I was cold. Last week I actually found myself shivering again but I think part of it was that the AC was blasting in the waiting room. I had just come back from a two week vacation so it was probably some anxiety/excitement as well.

I feel very nervous

With my first T, I had some GI issues before every session. I always knew that at least once a week I'd be "regular" hahaha. The first year or so was extreme nausea too, which sucked. I never threw up.

With this T, I have been nervous, but I don't know if its because the experience is so different or that I walk there and have time to relax before the appointment (on saturday), but the level of nervousness is wayyyyy down. I can eat beforehand, and don't have any GI symptoms. Very interesting.
