Rather than repressing all the emotions, take time to process your feelings. You may have to hold them in until the end of the day, but giving time to think and process your emotions help you a lot in the long run.

When under blindfold training, you may have a freakout. Might be early in the training, may be later. It's hard to tell. Not everyone has it, but a lot of people do. When that happens, you can ask the instructor to give you a few moments to calm yourself down. Take slow, deep breathes until you are back under control. You think more clearly afterwards, and can analyze what may have caused it.

Take some time to get to know the instructor. Building up trust helps, since they would be watching out for you.

If you are learning how to eat under blindfold, you may want to start with someone simple. The first time my classmates and I had a meal under blindfold, my partner dumped a LOT of Parmesan cheese into my lap (for my spaghetti). I stuck to the garlic bread after that.

Also, ask questions. If you aren't sure, it is better to ask and find out. I've had clients who made assumptions, that were not true.

Good luck on the training! Hope you find it helpful!

I am attending a training center right now. I am at the CCB Colorado Center for the Blind. This is the room layout living room full kitchen two bathrooms shower and drier two bedrooms. The teachers and students are great. Most of the teachers are blind. Do you have any specific questions for me.

Not sure I have any good advice, but I do want to say that I'm really proud of you for taking this step.

Good luck with your training, kick some ass.
