In reply to How often do you have your therapy session?, posted by lookdownfish on November 12, 2003, at 16:52:34
I go once a week unless I am in very bad shape and then twice a week with a call in imbetween. Once in a while I can go two weeks without going.I leave it up to the therapist. I often have no idea how bad I am doing because I am normally quite numb. I do enjoy talking to her because she trains critters like I do. just different areas. Kinda funny how what i know can be dropped back on me and I am reminded how to use the info. But I often tell her. I can cure a dog of major behavioral issues . But I cant seem to fix my stuff when I know what causes it . I do know someways to get it better but I cant extinguish the fear like I can in the dogs brought to me as mental wrecks. But then I think too much LOL! But mostly I am asked to come in more to help me stay on track and not lose progress I have made or to minimize the backslide I might be in. I cant count how many times this has saved me from hospitalization or even death from depression and or physical issues I have not kept track of as to how bad they were getting .
But I also have another interesting thing I have been encouraged to do. To bring in information I find and share it and see if it would be useful to try. I never have a boring session! I know the therapist keeps the sessions kinda close because I crash and burn real fast and dont tell anyone . I just sit on stuff . But for some reason that is just how I handle stuff I guess. The reasons vary as for why they might want someone to come in more often or not. I found it is best to ask WHY? if they want sessions closer together and I feel I am doing ok. responsible K9 in Colorado
