I just needed to come on here for a minute to say this. I go to my therapist today at 4pm. It is 9 in the morning now, and the moment I got up I felt so anxious. Last night I was fine and felt ready-- like I had all of these things to say to him and I could really say them. Now, my hands are already tingling and I can play the whole session in my head, see myself walk in and sit down, mutter and stutter, say nothing, not be present, watch myself, and leave-- and feel despair. I have already ruined the session and it hasn't even happened yet.
What should I do/think about in the intervening time before my session to be real and present when I get there? When I get there, I feel like I need a line or something to say to get it started-- but I have like 100 lines and things to say. When I go in there and sit on the couch, then what? Can you help?
