I used to self-medicate before every therapy session because otherwise I was too anxious to even talk. About 15 minutes before I saw my therapist I would pop a vicodin or ativan, and just as the session began I felt calm and comfortable enough to discuss painful topics. If for some reason I didn't take a pill, most of the 50 minutes was spent with both of us staring at our shoes or around the room, barely speaking. I completely support prescribing medication that is taken to specifically enhance learning and work in therapy sessions. This is a pretty amazing concept.

It was "risky" for me to do this blog; I thought about it for a year before I got my courage up. But so many sites were clinical and lacked a dimension of personal experience, so I decided to go ahead and do it. It's good to know that it's appreciated. Just to know that you are reading is enough for me, though a comment here and there is always welcome ;) Thank you, Kim, for the compliments!

And it sounds like a good one. Use a known drug to assist with learning to assist with the therapeutic process so that drugs used for the anxiety symptoms become less necessary. Also, I've been reading your blog but haven't commented because I don't have too much to say about the subjects you write about. But I respect how you have opened up to the world and are writing about this topic through your own personal experience. Mike – That is a really interesting idea. And it sounds like a good one.
