In advertising terms, I would always be classed as the ‘before’ rather than ‘after’, whether before cosmetic surgery, low-fat biscuits or psychotherapy. Strangely I often felt somehow more than the after though…
In hindsight I think this was probably a perspective derived from appalling time-keeping. I was generally significantly ‘after’ and would have missed my appointment for cosmetic psychotherapy whether they had biscuits or not.
