Hi, and welcome to Babble!
I would love to go for a walk with my therapist. I’d feel much more free to talk. I mentioned the idea a couple of weeks ago (without asking him straight out) and it’s turned into one of those things that comes up every week. He absolutely won’t consider it. It feels like a huge rejection and I wish he’d agree to think about it for a week and *then* come back and tell me he can’t do it, rather than refusing straight out. Not that I’ve told him any of that, of course, because I don’t want him to know what’s going on in my mind in case he thinks up an even worse rejection. Sorry, I’ve started whining in your thread…
If you think it would help, you might find a change of scene can be pretty useful. I tend to feel oppressed by the institution of healthcare so I’d love to get out of that environment. But maybe it’s not so easy if you don’t enjoy social situations. I wonder if you’d be prepared to try a short walk and see how you feel about it. If you can’t relax then maybe it won’t work, but on the other hand you might be surprised to find yourself enjoying it!
Let us know what happens…
Tamar
