Yes, thanks, sitting up and talking it through did bring a lot of the terror down to a much lower level. Actually daring to look him in the eyes, and see that there was a benign person there helped a lot. Now I am back to a half-up (the first part of the session) and half-down (the latter half). I think that there is no question about the couch helping to bring forth feelings and thoughts which might be automatically censored in a face-to-face position., so both ways seem to have very valuable things about them I see him Mondays and Thursdays, and it's true- the Monday session tends to be the hardest!
Have you actually terminated your therapy, or are you getting towards that? If you are, it would be a wonderful topic for a new thread here, as it's a dreaded issue for so many of us; some people here are also reporting very painful experiences of their own terminations. It would be wonderful to know more about the best ways of accomplishing it- for example, would *gradual* be best?
