That's just the beginning! Honestly, you may not notice all of the effects while they're happening, and one day you'll realize "heh, my anxiety used to be bad when I went for a dental checkup! now it's not!". Or others may point it out to you, the best are people you see once in a while, and this is pretty common around the holidays, my sister is in college so when she came home a few weeks ago she mentioned how I seem "bigger"!
Or my therapist pointing out that I made a decision that would have taken me days, in about a couple of hours!
I honestly didn't notice, it slowly changed, like the frog in boiling water.
Hopefully it never changes.
What is your protocol?
