I had my first therapy session yesterday morning. I am receiving a combination of CBT and invivo exposure therapy to deal with Brian's death. The therapist was brief with the pleasantries and got down to business straight away. However, that was one of the reasons I hired him in the first place; he is one of my former colleagues and brevity and clarity was what I wanted in treatment. I must say though, whilst the first session went very well, I believe this is going to be far more difficult than I realized. Even the initial session was rather upsetting and I needed a day to recouperate.
