• CBT

  My first round of Cognitive Behavior Therapy is October 30th. The second is November 8th(two days before my birthday WINK WINK). I’ve read stuff online about what to expect, but my mind keeps drifting to it being some kind of Fear Factor experience. “Oh so you’re afraid of spiders? Here’s a whole bucketful of wolf spiders!!” Ugh. Thanks to those who gave me some encouragement the last time. I’ve written a few times in my personal journal about what I’d like to work on(being alone later at night and dogs) and so I’m prepared to change. It’s just a little scary I guess. Change never comes easy.

  Two good things though! One is that it is with my regular doctor(not primary care doc, I see him on Oct. 16th), so I will already know the person trying to help me. The second is that I will be treated as part of a grant and will not have to pay anything. The lady on the phone even told me, “If you receive a bill, call me.” So yeah, positive changes without having to pay for the service=a good thing. Now make no mistake, I will have to pay for it emotionally, but I’m willing to pay that price. haha.

  For those of you who pray, pray that these first two(hour long) sessions go well so that I can get a good impression of what my doctor is trying to accomplish.
