Tomorrow I’m going to my therapist for the first time since 2 months. I’m really nervous and think it will trigger me cause I need to talk about it. Does anyone have tips?
Yes, I understand and often was nervous because if thing were going smoothly, I didn’t want to have to bring it all up and be “triggered” again. The thing I finally realized was, it’s ok to be triggered, it’s ok to be nervous, it’s all part of getting better. We need to feel and accept all of the feelings. Who better to feel these ways in front of them someone who is trained to help you. As OCD advocate Ethan Smith always says, “feel all the feelings”. I realized my desire to control my thoughts and feelings was the biggest part of my ocd. If I was uncomfortable, nervous about a thought or feeling I would do compulsive behaviors to eliminate them. Sorry for the long-winded tip, short version feel nervous, and know you are on the road to recovery ❤️
