Today my "baby" graduated middle school, and two days ago when I saw Megan she essentially "graduated" me from my sessions. She said that, because my next step is step 10, I probably don't need to see her any more. We both agreed that I'd keep her on speed dial, just in case.
My plan is to spend the next month or two watching more videos and visiting the pet stores and looking through the glass. When I'm completely anxiety free (and I'd say I'm about 80% anxiety free at this point) I'll find someone who will let me hold a mouse or rat and I'll do one final session with Megan to share my progress.
I'm so happy with where things are. Last week as I was going to my car I saw a little dead shrew, and normally I'd have been scared to see it AND upset that one was in my neighbourhood. I was ok. Michelle then confessed that Princess, our neighbourhood cat, buried three other shrews near our car since we've been in this house. I was ok. :)
Today, I read a post on Facebook from a friend who talked about her spider phobia. I've shared Megan's info with her, and I'm excited to hear about her progress, too. :)
