I feel like seeing if therapist is good fit is half the battle. The first visit for me has typically been basic back ground info. Therapy has always helped me tho presently i dont go due to hectic schedules and insurance frustrations. I hope it goes well and its a good start.

Breathe in mmmmmm breathe out awwwwwwwww. Repeat as necessary as I would say and anxiety about this is as normal as could be expected. So check anxiety off as normal response and nervous speaking in front of anyone group or one on one is also a generally normal feeling. Okay two things check out as normal on response to those scenarios, not sure what you think of my reply. I’m not kicking your tires like I’m looking at a used car nope kinda going down a list of what feels normal and then you can focus on the areas that throw up a red flag. It can be a short journey though for many it lasts a lifetime which in turn was not far enough at all....

Thank you for the response. I was hoping it would just be general information on the first visit. I know it will be worth it in the end, it's just scary getting my foot through the door.

I am very emotion so I cried the first month straight. I have been in recovery for two years now! I can tell you it does get easier and you began to feel the changes you just have to keep going back.

I'm very emotional too, but mostly in private. I am definitely afraid to show my emotions to other people but maybe it will be good to let that out in a healthy way!

I know how you feel this past Tuesday was my first session and it was terrifying as hell. I'm the same way how to express my emotions and feelings to anyone. You will get through this and when you do you will be glad you did. I'm proud of you for going they didn't make you go you made that decision on your own and that is awesome. Hugs

I went to see a psychologist. She attack me. She knows I have obsessive thinking. She say things that make me remember forever. Bitch! I never went back to her. You are not the only one who worry. In the furture maybe some invent a robot councelor, Then I will go see it.

Thank you everyone for your comments. It was really hard to get into this center so I'm really hoping for the best. My friend said it's a great place. I am a little nervous that I'm going to have a male therapist. I know that sounds weird but I'm nervous about sharing intimate details about my life. I know it's their job to give advice. I guess I'm just nervous about that too.

Just be your self and talk whatever you feel like truly discussing. what i did was made an online journel to ask whatever i need to when i go in.. specially whatever your main concerns are.you will be fine. dont worry and do more things to relax your mind and body.

Thanks, that's a really good idea! I was thinking about writing some things down that way I know what I want to say.
