Great advice from Lexy, our newly licensed professional - you sound even more confident now :-) What great ideas for us all!!!
Mystic, if I can add one more thought playing off of Lexy's last 2 notes: Don't feel you have to delve into your past until you are ready. The meds are a good base to give you the strength to do it, but if you have not found the right med or med combo maybe you need to wait til your meds are on track ... just a thought!

Hey Mystic,
> I hope today finds you feeling better. I won't even pretend I can understand your fear of facing your childhood memories. One thing you can do for yourself is write down the postives and what is going on when you are not feeling anxious. Dwell on those things and try to add on to them. Figure out your anxious thoughts, like many anxious or depressed thoughts begin with "What if" "Will I" and sometimes "Can I". I know when I was depressed it helped me a lot to isolate those thoughts and challange them, "If I go out with my friends will they know that I am a depressed mess?" "Will I start crying in a session with my new client?" I challaged those thoughts with real life experiences such as "Well, last time I went out with my friends, nothing bad happened" or "Last time I saw my client I helpped this person then felt better". Our brains work against us but the reality can help us. Just think, you had a painful childhood but you made it though, you helped your daughter have a safe happy childhood and now Ryan will have the same, all because you were strong enough to break the cycle. You are such a strong and wonderful person Mystic, try to dwell on your amazing strenght and will.
> Love you!!!
