How does one deal with dreading therapy?

Posted by alii on April 30, 2002, at 9:23:30

Relaxation, schmelaxation. Studies techniques for years. A few work at various times but there is such a primal flight instinct that I face before some therapy sessions.
And this isn't just the sessions where we (therapist and myself) tackle tough issues. It's not every time and it's not like any other anxiety I've felt.
I'm almost to the point of buying off my fear by telling myself I'll get an ice cream cone if I go to today's session. Hah. Worked as a kid but now....
Suggestions?
