Today is my first T appointment in 6 months. I feel excited and scared and nervous and probably a lot of other things. Normally I'm a list maker, but for some reason I've been fighting the urge to list out everything I want to talk about (not necessarly today but at some point). I think I want to go in and just talk about what comes to mind. I'm guessing its going to be more like a reintroduction sort of hour anyway we won't get into any of the big stuff.
I wonder if it'll feel like I was away for a long time or if it'll feel like it used to feel. Anybody take a long break from T and then go back to that same T? What was it like? |

Yes, I took a 9 year break from the same T. It was much better the second time around; good luck today, let us know how it goes!

I took a five year break. And just recently a one month for less ideal reasons.

Lemon, how did it go? Was it awkward or easy? Great or awful? Or in between?

Overall I'm really satisfied with how my first session back went. One of my favorite moments was at the beginning of our session when she was trying to help me get started talking and she said "so where were we". I really liked that.
The session actually seemed pretty long, in a good way. I think that might be because I only dissasociated once that i'm aware of. I'm pretty sure that right before I stopped going before I was dissascoiating all over the place in sessions. We covered quite a bit of the big things that had happened since I'd last seen her. I have something coming up in a couple weeks that I'm nervous about and she taught me a technique to help me calm down about it that I could do on my own. I'm going back next week, but I think after that I'll try out an everyother week schedule. That used to seem like not enough, but I think it will be good this time around (I say that now! LOL) It felt different, but the same. |
