Hey again, since your situation sounds so similar to mine, can you tell me if you took meds during therapy and how long you've been in that therapy?
We didn't not really discuss meds yet, just for a minute. I don't know if I want to be on any ADs because they inhibit my emotions; I want my emotions fully intact for this.
At the same time, I'm not sure how to control the neurosis felt after stirring up such emotions.
I did have to take several xanax after the second session w/him, but the next day, the compartmentalized anxiety actually turned into grief, then went away on it's own when I decided not to take a xanax and think about the grief emotion instead, as strange as that sounds.
Can you tell me how you retained your stability while undergoing psychyodynamic therapy?
