Hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend

It's only my second session but Im nervous...anxious. Part of me just wants tomorrow to be my last session, but theres a bigger part that knows I will never get to where I want to be if I stop going.I feel like such a child acting like this...it's ridiculous! *shakes head and rolls eyes* I hope I don't get this anxious every week.

Well, for me the first few weeks were definitely the hardest. But I have to say, for many months after I would get the I-don't-want-to-go feeling before sessions (still occasionally, depending on what we've last talked about). It's especially strong for me the day of the appt.

Basically, I just ignored that. I just decided therapy was something I was trying for a while. So no matter how much dread I was feeling, it wasn't an option not to go, so I always just went. So who knows what it will be like for you, but hang in there! A few jitters are to be expected

Aw, be kind to you. It's understandable to feel anxious about therapy. It can come and go, too. I was sailing along after settling in, and recently began seeing T twice a week and suddenly I'm anxious and visibly nervous all over again.

Keep going....everything is something to explore

Good luck at your appointment today.

I was so, so, so, so nervous for months before therapy - and it still hits me hard sometimes. But I just pick myself up and go, and slowly I'm healing.

You're not acting like a child. I think what you're feeling is perfectly normal

I have been going for close to 10 months, and just in the past few weeks have I not had massive stomach pain the whole time from getting up in the morning to driving there. Just hang in there, I just kept telling myself "You made a commitment, you can do it" and it has slowly gotten better.
