I have had one counseling session before this a while ago to help with my out of control OCD. It helped but didn't get to the root cause of my OCD, which is my anxiety.
I had a 'session' of sorts a few weeks ago to asses my needs on a counseling basis, with the lady I am seeing today and she was fantastic. We have set between us an 'action plan' of 1-1 counseling with some CBT and group sessions which I will start soon.
I feel so very nervous today but excited for what it means for my future and my DD's future (also DH obviously)
Right now my short term goals are to be able to let people help me with regards to my girls. I get very anxious about anyone other than DH looking after our DD's and it is holding me back and to an extent holding DH back and in turn our relationship. My DD's deserve to be able to go to their GP's for days out, nights in, without me trying to 'avoid' it at all costs.
MIL is fab with the girls as is FIL (although he can to a bit to far sometimes but he is working on it so cannot complain) my mum and dad are fantastic with the girls also,even if mum does let them get away with murder lol. The girls idolize my dad. Although my relationship with my parents can be very extremely strained they are fantastic with the girls.
I also don't want to 'mess' my girls up, as I am sure my anxiety stared very early in my life (about 4 years old, I am now almost 32)
I am aware of DD1 (3yo) becoming to worried about things that she doesn't need t6o be and I am keen to make sure she doesn't 'end up' like me. DD2 is much too laid back like DH to worry about anything lol.
I need to get better for my family and for myself. Sorry I seem to have gone on but I just needed to get this all off my chest before I go. Session starts at 11am will be having a walk and quiet time on the way there to help chill me out (well that is the plan lol)
