Getting Help

It has been a while since the last post. Well, I have successfully found a psychologist who specializes in anxiety and OCD. I really like her and her approach is very hands-on. I have seen her for about 4 sessions total so far. The first session was an intake interview that took 2 hours! It was intense, but it gave both her and myself lots of information. Since then she has given me a lot of homework to work on, and in the next few posts I will go over some of the things I have been trying to do. One of the concepts my counselor emphasizes is mindfullness training. I have to try and train my mind to do things differently, and be more aware of the here and now, rather than what could be or what might happen. It takes a lot of time and it takes a lot of "work." I feel some of this counseling is working, but not quite at the rate that I had hoped, especially for how much the sessions cost. Until the next time....
