I have been wondering the same thing...T and I went over my goals when I first started seeing her...

I still have NO clue...I don't even know where to start when trying to figure out my goals...for me i think my main goal is trying to improve my quality of life (finding things I like to do and doing them instead of engaging in self destructive behavior, stopping my drinking, getting a support network/forming better relationships, reducing my anxiety, reversing the negative thinking patterns I have about myself etc...) as you can see the list goes on and on and like you I am not even sure WHERE to start. I told T everything just seems like one tangled mess and I don't know where I need to start first, but I guess that is where T comes in.....

I'd say make a short list first of about 3 things to work on...for me it was finding something I love (photography), getting out more either with friends or by myself and learning out to reduce anxiety(this one I am still working on). my next few goals now are learning to open up more--starting with T, allowing myself to FEEL my feelings and know its OKAY and reversing my negative thinking patterns I have about myself. These three are the hardest for sure...

Im sorry this probably isnt much help, but just know you are not alone in trying to figure out your goals for therapy...I say tell your T you are not sure where to start and I am pretty sure she will help you that is what she is there for
