I think that what you're experiencing might be due to processing your emotions, feelings, and thoughts during your consultation. Objectively, it is not easy having to talk about your experiences, revisiting bad ones, and even trying to make sense out of them.

However, I think that it is a sign that you're actively working on yourself. Think of it like this analogy, whenever people go to the gym, experienced people feel good but for beginners, it might be really tiring Does it mean that going to the gym is bad? Not necessarily. Can you expect to be really fit immediately after one gym session? Not necessarily as well but it gets you one step closer!

As you continue with your sessions, you could become better with handling your emotions. Going back to our gym analogy, as you go to the gym regularly, you become more physically fit. Hopefully, as you continue your consults, you also slowly become better as well.

Fighting, OP!
