Or should I hold back some things? I feel sick at the thought of my first therapy appointment. Worried that I'll start rambling on like a lunatic, or start crying & not be able to stop. (Obvious that I've waited too long to get help?) I rarely trust anyone with how I feel, cuz that's how I ended up with that dam# lexapro (last month). Please answer before Friday (Nov 16) when I have the appt. Thanks.
When you get there, just picture how many different people have also walked through that door to their first ever therapy session, and how they all will have been wondering the same things.
It is your therapist's job to earn your trust. Let her or him guide you and just see how it goes.
And don't forget to tell us how you get on! Big hugs, hope it goes well.
Dont worry about it. Your therapist will kind of lead you with questions .. or mine did. You shouldn't hold back.. and be truthful about how you feel.. it might feel good to get that off your chest... if you cry .. you cry.. I have cried many times in my sessions..
