In reply to First 3 words in a session?, posted by Kenya on March 30, 2009, at 11:34:00
Welcome to babble Kenya!
For me, even after all this time, there still can be some stammering and chit-chat before I get to therapy. I think it is like I have to warm up to him again prior to us working together. Sort of re-establishing that he is a safe person.
Of course, I chit-chatted for years before I could even consider that he was safe, now a few moments at the beginning of the session is nothing.
SOmetimes, post chit-chat my therapist will ask me "what has been getting the most air time recently" as in what have I been thinking about the most. An honest answer to that question always seems to lead me to understanding myself better and lightens whatever it is that I am carrying around.
Maybe you could ask yourself that question?
Seldom.
