does it ever get better? Every session I feel so wound up and anxious!! I have a session in an hour and feel so worked up. But yesterday I felt great ... I know therapy is helping and my therapist is a nice man ... I would just like to not feel the need to throw up each week. GAaaah!

Yes. I think once you start trusting him it can help you to feel better.

It got better for me. Eventually. Anxiety-management techniques helped. Building rapport, too. How long have you been seeing this T

It's only been 2 months. I really do like him, he's very kind and has a no BS way of doing things. I got very attached very quickly which freaked me out ... And we had a bad EMDR session off the top. Now it appears I am so controlling that I can't even create a "safe place" without screwing that up! (Going on a rant here - it was not a good session today) I just feel like I am doing everything wrong when I go ... And try so hard to make sure I say the right things. I know I am a controlling person ... I just don't know how to stop. I can tell he is getting frustrated with me. I hate this ... I felt so positive last week and now I just feel like crap and so pissed off.

With my first therapy go-round, it took me about a year to stop feeling like I was going to throw up everywhere before hand. But, the entire time I was in therapy with her, I still was anxious, though it usually lessened once we got started.

With this therapy, there are times where I realize I am barely nervous (i think it will be impossible for me to be one of those people that are like YES, THERAPY DAY!!!!!), and there are other times when I am very nervous, and we try and work out why.
Thanks for this!

I have been doing it for several years and I am not relaxed about it. So I don't think it is a given.
