Does it happen to anyone else?
Lately im very scared to go to any therapy session because im afraid it will be useless and i'll come out feeling like before or even worse than before.
after i go im quite satisfied but this mild benefit soon disappears to let depression and negative thoughts come back again. is it normal?
i have an appt in 30 mins and im freaking out, terrified.

Hi sinking. Hope your appointment went well. I often feel like that too right before my appointment, or sometimes just thinking about it makes me feel like that. I guess it's normal, therapy brings up a lot of bad stuff wether it's feelings or memories and you can be scared of that. I guess it's part of the process... Therapy is hard, but it's worth it.
Thanks for this!

I get really self conscious before a session. I worry whether my therapist will think I'm sick enough to be there. I feel a sense of performance anxiety.
