April: I love that post-exercise feeling when you know you've worked yourself hard. Phone therapy sounds difficult and awkward to me; maybe at the next session you can discuss it with her and let her know that you prefer to meet face to face. Don't be too disheartened, it will take time.
Becci: sorry you're feeling so sick, that sounds horrid. I agree with the above, make sure you drink plenty of fluids and try and eat a bit of bland food if you can.
