Safe Now
I went and saw my psychologist yesterday. We talked about some of my trauma stuff in both yesterday’s session and the session before it. Now I am here today having to reassure myself that I am safe now!

Tomorrow afternoon I have an appointment with my psychologist. I haven’t seen her for 2 weeks. Last week I was busy with other things that kept me distracted. I am a bit worried about how I’ll be after my appointment

Do you get a bit anxious or nervous prior to appointment @Oaktree or are you concerned about after the session. That talking about things in the session will bring up feelings that might be difficult to deal with when the session is over?
Do you have some go to techniques? Like grounding with five senses.
Do you prefer to be by yourself or around other people?
Do you find physical things helpful like going for a walk

Yes Till I am worried that I will be thinking about stuff that comes up in the appointment afterwards. I did write down some distress tolerance skills including the 5 senses grounding technique. Just have to remember to use them when I need them.
Thanks for your replies guys. I appreciate it.
