MrsK never understood why, I would tense before an appt. and then, a couple hours after, I felt better.
Siwsan, I'm at the point, after years of therapy, I look forward to them now.
I treat them as, my, "psyche shower", I get to talk without worries, about what's on my mind. I get feedback, pos or neg., point is, when I go to therapy, I am heard. That never happened in my family, who disowned me also.
When you go to therapy, remember 2 things, if I may.
1 you will be heard.
2 you may not get the response you want, because, #1 , you were heard.
Hoping best for you and the ferals,
