Hi Kath :o)
A sample session... um!!
Well, when I first get there she will ask if there is anything thats happened int he proceeding week that I would like to discuss... I will say and thenw e will talk about how it made me feel and how I could have handled it better.
During the panic / anxiety work, we would then probably work through the panic cycles.. how they staart, how they feel etc... this has made me totally understand my panic which is helped enormously. Then, we would work on one aspect of my panic or triggers.. such as when she took me into the street to do star jumps so I would realise no one bats an eyelid in the streets as a rule..
It just seems that adding all these little bits up has really helped me.Now a days, as we are starting to tackle the depression. A few weeks ago we went through and wrote down every aspect of me and my life that causes me pain and stress. I hated htis as there ws SO much, but she thenj went and linked these all together, so there is only really 3 or 4 things that need to be tackled, and how that when we are tackling one thing, we will be tackling others at the same time cos of their connections.
It\really is wondeful, htough I know it helps that I have a really lovely psychologist who I get on with really well!
Hope that gives you a better insight into our sessions!!
