I really look forward to these visits. It feels so darn good to get out dressed. This time I arrived early and was sitting in a very small waiting room when a young red neck came in looking for info on a next door pain clinic. He was there quite awhile before leaving. Next in came a sales rep. Pretty ypoung thing. Followed by a new receptionist and then an elderly lady(probably my age) awaiting another therapist. I think she made me and we sat there for probably 10 min. I kept my mouth shut as my voice probably would have startled her but then hey, it's a therapist's office. Anyway this way my first real experience encountering a bunch of people. It was good therapy as I feel more comfident now and will soon be out and about I hope. I'll upload a photo of my recent visit.

I had therapy just to keep me from going crazy. I wasn't able to stop from doing crazy things when I wasn't dressing often enough.
SSSsoooooo.... I am sure your therapy is working and I'm glad it is.

Did you tell the Therapist about the waiting room and how you felt?

It's funny, I dreaded the thought of anyone entering the waiting room while I was there. All kinds of thoughts run through your mind. Plan A, Plan B, etc. Anyway when this all occured I became very calm and waited to see if there would be any reaction. When none was forthcoming I felt exhilerated. I told my therapist of my experience and told her it had been a real boost to my comfidence level. My goal now if to continue on training my voice so I can feel much more comfident in public and make some small forays in the near future. Hang on world Wendae is on her way!

I'm also glad this seems to be helping. It's great that you can go to your sessions dressed.
