Im going to see a counsellor on tuesday and im really scared coz last time i went to one i felt she was judgemental and thought that i should no better than to self harm. This time although she sounded nice on the phone i dont want to tell her or talk to her incase she is cross with me. I dont no what i should say either. I only have a 30 minute slot so its not long. what should i say?

i jsut started seeing psychologist, i had my second session today...and they ask a lot of questions, like your back ground and stuff like that, they make it easy for you to talk because they sort of ease you into it...if she was nice over the phone, im sure she will be nice in person...she shuldnt be judgemental because its her job not to be...
you will be fine, its scary at first but taking that step really helps.

It is NOT the counselor's job to be judgemental. That is trully the antithesis of what their jobs SHOULD be.
Go to www.apa.org/ethics/complaint.html if you feel like you chould file a complaint.

And Good Luck.

If you need anyone to talk to I am here for you!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
