I’ll take a hangover from substance abuse over a therapy or stress/PTSD “episode”/meltdown any time, please.
My last and dearly beloved T would work with me for 2+ hours with a 50-minute slot and charge every other week. I have no complaints about the free/50%+ off therapy, but she kicked my ass, and I’d almost invariably drive home swearing I wouldn’t go back and calling her a f*cking [use your imagination: I did, colorfully].
Then I was screwed for 24-72 hours regarding sleep, eating, energy, etc. in curiously variable ways. I too don’t know how to mitigate this except to use my coping tools (training and exercising my dog/s, feeding myself a constant stream of media, cooking elaborately) and try to minimize any obligations ahead of time.
In all fairness to @Friday, most of us are toast vs an indignant house cat. Give me powerful breed working dogs any day. Cats hand me my ass without even giving me the satisfaction of looking mildly bothered by the tussle...
