Less therapy?

I had therapy today. It was a difficult session. Probably a good one, just difficult.  He asked me what we were going to work on when I start DBT. Other than body image issues I couldn’t think of anything. We brainstormed a couple things we could still do, but we pretty much came to the conclusion that I don’t need to come as often.

This makes me very nervous. I agree that with me doing DBT I don’t have much to do in therapy, but I just feel more comfortable with it being there. I’ve been going for 2 ½ years. It’s a regular part of my life. I just worry about things getting rocky again. Which I’m pretty sure will happen at some point. And I know I can always make an appointment if I’m in a crisis again, but still. Not the same as checking in on a regular basis.

I’m trying to think of more details of what we talked about. My mind is going blank. We talked about smiling, which we talked about a while back. I think I did a post on it. Anyway, the idea is to just smile more, even if you don’t feel like smiling. There have been studies that show smiling can put you in a better mood. I’m going to give it a try. Just try it. What do I have to lose?

I said something that he said was really good. I can’t remember what it was.

I have a feeling that as soon as I post this I’m going to have a lot more to say. I may end up doing another post tomorrow.
