New Start, New Counselor

I decided to take my university up on the free student services. I decided to see a couselor again.
I am going to share with you all what we are working on. Maybe it coud work for you too.

I usually pull my hair out because I am anxious.
Therefore, this past week I was to write in a diary and rate my anxiety on a scale of 1-10.
 Here's what I was to write:

• Before the day begins: What I think I'll be anxious about that day and what I think my anxiety level will be.
• Before beginning the activity that I think I will be anxious about, I write down what my anxiety is.
• After I reflect on what my anxiety was and how quickly it progressed.

This week I am to still write about all of the above but after the activity I am to write about the ways I helped calm myself downs afterwards (i.e. the "tools" I used)

This has helped me reflect on when/ how my anxiety/ hair pulling is triggered.
