Day 1

Addiction: Porn

Date:  12-13-20

Time: 8:50-9:50

Day # 1

Feelings Felt Psychologically: I didn’t really feel anything. A bit frustrated and a bit discomfort. Tried to stay present the whole time but I would start thinking random stuff. Once I caught myself thinking I returned to being present and this happened a lot of times in the 1 hour. Near the end I found myself thinking a lot about random stuff and it got harder to become aware of it. I was tired. 

Feelings Felt Physiologically: Felt uncomfortable just sitting. Shifted my place from time to time “example sitting to laying one leg moving a bit”. Moved my hands a couple times. 

Questions You Asked Yourself: “how much time has gone by or how much time left” 

How Do You Feel After Your Session?: Calm. Don’t feel like doing anything really. Tired too.
