Therapy today after a long break

I have an appt today with the social worker. I made the appt a month ago when I was feeling really badly. Now I feel so much better. I have a hang up with therapy, its kind of stupid when I go. I feel stupid with nothing to say. The dr gave me a higher dose of xanax to help me sleep and I feel like a new woman, more alive, my old self. How should I use this time in therapy today? I feel like I should go to keep my file open for the future because if you don’t go after so many months they close it.

How do you prepare for therapy? What do you talk about?

Hope you have a good appointment :slight_smile:

I usually make a mental list of things that are bothering me, for advice and guidance.

But sessions tend to have their own pace.

I’ve always kept a journal so helpful in working out what I want to talk about in therapy.

It went better then I expected. We got caught up because I hadn’t been in to see her since last October. We talked about why I stopped coming and why I made this appt. We left it open, I can call whenever for my next appt. But tell the secretary if its an emergency next time and she’ll come in an hour early to squeeze me in on short notice. I actually left feeling good about it… progress.
