hi everyone -
this is my first posting too. my T has suggested that i lie down vs. sitting (after a few months of 2 times a week therapy). after some initial resistance, i am doing it, but i find it VERY difficlut. i don't know what to do with my arms, hands or eyes ... she pointed out that i often cover up my face. does anyone else find this process difficult?

No, there are no meds involved ... just life issues ... grew up with a depressed, uninvolved mother ... but happily married now with 2 kids.
just wanted to sort out some stuff. but i find it funny how hard it is to lie down vs. sit ..
very curious, because it's not getting any easier.

Hi
I've had a few sessions of Individual therapy and I've always sat and found it easier to have a dialogue that way-although I think maybe lying down would make me dig a little deeper(or fall asleep :).Tammy

i think that is the point ... dig a little deeper ... she (T) says "more freeing" ... instead ..
i feel so self-conscious and aggitated. after a month of laying down, i did sit once and it was so much easier for me. but i did go back to laying down, per her advice.

This should probably be on the psychobabble psychology board. I don't know how to link it or I would send your there. Can someone else help? I will comment but not on this board.

> very curious, because it's not getting any easier.hello again...i cannot offer any explanation, perhaps you can post this thread on the Psychology board, as i am almost certain you would get more answers, as medication is primarily the issue on this board...all the best, chemist

Ask and ye shall receive. I moved your two posts over to the psychology board and this link goes to it so any further discussion or questions can go there. As people have said it will probably get more answers over there.
