> And toward the end of the session, he pointed out that I came into the session sort of tense and shaky and that I was much more relaxed. It was one of the closest sessions we've had in a while. And although I knew there was more down there, we agreed it was a start.That's sooooo great!
>I did leave the session feeling better and also felt that the door had been opened for going further. The thing is that as much as I don't want to talk about some things, holding them in doesn't feel good either. Letting them out, or at least starting to, definitely felt good.
It does feel good! It feels great! Plus, the more you bring these things out into the *open,* the better you will continue to feel. It's the attempt to try to diminish and repress these feelings that lead to anxiety. I'm soooooo incredibly glad that you were able to bring these things into therapy with you. What wonderful progress!!
Peace,
