Had my first therapy session

Hi everyone, had my first session with my therapist and she is lovely I really like her....she was so understanding and she really listened to me when I told her about my anxiety issues...of course I cried buckets of tears telling her about my family but she was so good, she gave me some great relaxtion techniques to use I will post them on the forum for others to use if they want them..

She said I have one of the worst cases of health anxiety shes ever seen, but she said with the cbt we are going to start doing next week I will recover...yay...I never believed that I could get well again but now I have hope that I will get better, and scaredy cat you were right I was so drained and tired when I got home I had a little nap....and I actually sleep for an hour..so everyone I am singing the praises of getting help and seeing someone for your anxiety problems.....hugs to you all your friend shannon xx

Thanks Ben,it was really good. I had a really tough childhood and she thinks that a lot of that has caused me to have such extreme anxiety issues..it was hard dredging up the past but she said it helps to move forward if you get rid of the past issues . Makes sense I suppose.. Anyway thanks for the rep,y hope your doing well.......shannon

Hey Chrissy,thank you. I'm glad your going to do therapy too... Hey what will happen when we are all better? We will just have to start a new post for all of us recovered anxious people to help everyone else!...I'm so happy for you just remember though the first session is a bit tough, only because you have too let all the bad stuff out, but if it helps us recover it's worth it....big hugs to you too and I will keep you updated for sure...make sure you post and let me know how you get on too....Shannon xxx

Hey scaredy cat, I'm not going anywhere..I love you guys you keep me sane, you are all my family. No I intend to get better,and it will take time and to stay on here and help others who struggle with anxiety....plus if I wasn't here who would keep screaming NO DR GOOGLE...lol..

And it's inspiring to hear that others are getting help too, of course it's sad to see newbies who are starting out but if I can help anyone along the way with my journey back to good mental health then I will.....I'm on a mission from god....I love the blues brothers..lol..ok guys hugs to you all will post soon....shannon...:)))

Thanks nelle, I'm hoping it's going to help me in fact I'm being positive it's definitely going to help me....I hope the therapist you go to is good too....will absolutely let you all know how I get on..best wishes shannon
