Whilst preparing for therapy, I took note of ‘where I was at’ in terms of emotions. I was feeling a bit anxious, I knew exactly what we were going to start on during the session. Also, I was looking forward to the challenge, like pre-race jitters.
It’s something I know I have to keep an eye on, so I don’t push too hard or far. I like engaging in high risk activities, and my go-to coping mechanisms involve anything requiring endurance, physical and/or mental discomfort that I have to overcome.
I struggle with the aftermath of therapy. The hangover in all of its glory. When I come out of that, though, I want to push harder. Like running or lifting. It’s definitely harder, harder than any physical activity I’ve ever done. It’s like a high.
It makes me feel really screwed up. Anybody else experience therapy like this?
