Slightly Nervous

Thursday is the day I leave the house and travel alone on a bus and a train for my CBT appointment. Yes, my fellow humans tomorrow I shall walk amongst you.

  • I've always wished that counsellors could do home visits. The last one I saw was particularly good, and I really appreciated the sessions with her; but I hated having to travel right across town and all the hanging around in a noisy waiting rooms etc. The journey home when my brain was frazzled from the session was always the worst. To be fair to the counsellor, she did realise that I found it hard, so did the best she could to arrange the easiest appointment times, get other users of the building to be a bit quieter, and ensured that sessions ended with a few minutes of down time so that I could switch myself into "travel mode". I always made sure I had some guaranteed down-time once back at home, with all my chores done etc. and no outside contact for a bit.

    We recently started doing a short meditation at the start and finish of each session to calm me down a bit. My counselor is very good.
