much will be uncovered. don't get scared after a cpl of sessions. have an open mind. talk about everything and anything. the moer you conceal the less your counselor can help you.

I'm just very nervous about it.
I was really looking forward to it yesterday, but I am almost panicking today.

In order for it to be of any help, you need to be open an honest. However, if after 3 or 4 sessions you don't "mesh" well with the counselor, don't hesitate to consult with a different one. I went through 3 counselors before I found one that I've had for years now. It's important that you feel comfortable with your therapist.

It's good stuff.

Just know ahead of time that you're probably going to feel drained afterwards. But that's a good thing.

If counseling doesn't engage you on some emotional level, something's not right.

I am a real counselling veteran here! The first couple of sessions will be a get to know you session... You will just tell your basic story and he/she will probably start off by taking you way back before you relationship.. then work forward! It is really good, please do not be scared! I always feel good afterward.. If they offer hypnosis,, take it,, It is extrememly relaxing! ;-)
I think I am addicted to counseling now! May be a bad thing, but I always learn so much about me!
