On a related topic. :)
My sessions aren't in the mornings, although I think they might be more productive if they were. But I don't like to go directly from the stress of work to therapy. Not to mention the stress of driving in traffic to get there.
I like to arrive early and while I sometimes read in the car, I more often do some sort of meditation. I focus deeply on a point behind my eyelids and wait until I feel any tension leave my body, and my emotions are free instead of cooped up in my stomach like they usually are.
If I have something I wrote down to remind me to talk to him, I might glance at that as well.
I wish his waiting room was quieter, but I usually manage to make the noises fade into the background. I'm sure the receptionist thinks I'm, well, nuts. :) I sit there with my eyes closed while I wait.
Have I mentioned that I don't particularly mind looking a bit odd?
